I have implemented google calendar integration using django rest api. OAuth2.0 mechanism is used to get users calendar access. Below are details of API endpoints and corresponding views that are implemented -
/rest/v1/calendar/init/ -> GoogleCalendarInitView()
This view starts step 1 of the OAuth which will prompt user for his/her credentials.
/rest/v1/calendar/redirect/ -> GoogleCalendarRedirectView()
This view will do two things
- Handle redirect request sent by google with code for token
- Using the access_token, get list of events in users calendar
To run this project on a local machine:
pip install google-auth google-auth-oauthlib google-auth-httplib2 google-api-python-client djangorestframeworkNote: This application must have authorization credentials that identify the application to Google's OAuth 2.0 server to access Google APIs
