I’m stuck..
Basically my goal is I want to be able to pull in end user’s calendars, and parse their data daily. I don’t need any interaction from them, just enough to authenticate them with OAuth. My current solution is a plain text file that it goes through as a dictionary and pulls in the calendar that way, but that’s just asking for trouble. I am just getting my hands on OAuth but don’t know how I’d use it in my instance.

from apiclient.discovery import buildto build an API object to interacte with the service.You can also play with the Google Calendar API using the OAuth 2.0 playground tool or look through the API using the APIs explorer.
