# Google Calendar API

Google's calendar API can be used to get calendar events of a user after (s)he has authorized the app.

### Learnings

* Very easy to use. The [Quickstart guide](https://developers.google.com/calendar/quickstart/ios) was very helpful
* Tried it during the QBSE mobile hack-day 3/30/18 to match calendar events to unreviewed trips.
* Made a working demo of the code
* Pranay registered the iOS app in QBSE's Google developer account and thus got the client id.
  * here is the plist - [https://files.slack.com/files-pri/T7AN7J5RP-F9YMD0YDA/client\\\_1012179567841-13araloiq5ofplb08ovcmkup4vk4di70.apps.googleusercontent.com.plist](https://files.slack.com/files-pri/T7AN7J5RP-F9YMD0YDA/client/_1012179567841-13araloiq5ofplb08ovcmkup4vk4di70.apps.googleusercontent.com.plist)
