Question

I have my application authenticated using OAuth – and I’ve tested it with the calendar API. Everything works. I also used the “quick add” method for the events API, and that worked fine. But when I tried to insert using the following code

$event = new Event();
$event->setSummary('hello there');
$event->setLocation('America/Los_Angeles');
$start = new EventDateTime();
$start->setDateTime('2012-04-19');
$event->setStart($start);
$createdEvent = $cal->events->insert('[e-mail]', $event);

I get the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘apiServiceException’ with message
‘Error calling POST
https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/[e-mail]/events?key=AIzaSyBddYIgnZJrXHuT8gvX-0tEypxsycw99rA:

with [e-mail] being the ID of my calendar. It works for everything else.

What am I doing wrong?

It appears that you’re not setting the attendees of the event.

Example:

$end = new EventDateTime();
$end->setDateTime('2011-06-03T10:25:00.000-07:00');
$event->end = $end;

$attendee1 = new EventAttendee();
$attendee1->email = 'attendeeEmail';

$attendees = array($attendee1, ...);
$event->attendees = $attendees;
