Accessing Google Calendar API without authorization via JavaScript

Question

I\'m trying to access a public calendar (from Google Calendar) that contains national holidays:

calendarId: \'pt_br.brazilian#holiday@group.v.calendar.google         


        

Answer 1

I was able to do the same thing using jQuery.

var mykey = 'your_api_key'; // typically like Gtg-rtZdsreUr_fLfhgPfgff
var calendarid = 'you_calendar_id'; // will look somewhat like 3ruy234vodf6hf4sdf5sd84f@group.calendar.google.com

$.ajax({
    type: 'GET',
    url: encodeURI('https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/' + calendarid+ '/events?key=' + mykey),
    dataType: 'json',
    success: function (response) {
        //do whatever you want with each
    },
    error: function (response) {
        //tell that an error has occurred
    }
});

However you need to be sure you have done the following:-

---

1) Register a project at https://code.google.com/apis/console
2) Generate a Simple API Access key
3) Ensure Calendar API is activated under services.
