Question

I’m trying to use Google calendar REST API within Meteor I can use any GET method without any problem, but when I try to create an event in a calendar I get an Unauthorized access error.

I got my code on the following gist code

Basicaly I use Meteor.loginWithGoogle and get an AccessToken, with it I can get any calendar or userInfo from google, but when I try to insert an event I get the following message:

POST https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events 401 (Unauthorized)

any ideas?

Answer 1

After quite a good while of trying got it right..

Added the following file to my client folder

 Accounts.ui.config({requestPermissions: {google: 
  ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar',
  'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile',
  'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks']}}, requestOfflineToken: {google: true})

gCal = 
  insertEvent: (cliente, poblacion, texto, fecha)->
  #to-do calendar devuelve un Event Object que incluye un ID
  # si incluimos este id como campo en la alerta podremos despues
  # eliminar el evento en el calendario directamente desde la app
    url = "https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events"
    event=  {
      summary: cliente
      location: poblacion
      description: texto
      start:
        "date": fecha
      end:
        "date": fecha
      }
    evento = JSON.stringify event
    console.log evento
    Auth = 'Bearer ' + Meteor.user().services.google.accessToken
    Meteor.http.post url, {
      params: {key: 'INSERT-YOUR-API-KEY-HERE'},
      data: event,
      headers: {'Authorization': Auth }
      }, 
      (err, result)->
        console.log result
        return result.id

if you logged in thru {{loginButtons}} and then call insertEvent it works like a charm.
