In my previous post we looked at getting a list of calendars using the Google API. We looked at how to make the request, but not what to do with the data Google sends back.
When you make a request for a list of calendars, Google sends the list back in an xml format. Some of [...]
Before we handle the methods for editing a calendar, we need to make sure we’re editing the correct calendar. To do that we need to get a list of the calendars from Google. This method we’ll look at today is very simple. So, let’s jump right into the code.

Now that we have finished with the crazy method of obtaining all the various tokens for accessing the Google API, let’s jump into our first Google Calendar API method. We will start by using the Google Calendar API to create a new calendar. This method is very straight forward. It’s just a matter of correctly [...]

After you finish part 1 and part 2 of logging in using Google’s AuthSub. You’ll find it’s just not enough. Something really weird happens if you attempt to get [...]

I’ll publish the full file after I cover the individual functions. Feel free to build the CFC and follow along. Basically all you [...]
I’ve become addicted to Google. The company does some truly wonderful things. Not perfect by any means, but wonderful. Lately I have been playing around quite a bit with the Google calendar API and the Google spreadsheet API. Also…logging into the API, which is important to understand. I’ve written a few CFCs to access all [...]
This Christmas, Webapper was kind enough to shower us each with a Nabaztag/tag wifi rabbit. If you haven’t seen these things yet, they’re pretty neat… It’s got an API (along with prebuilt services) that you can call to make it do various things, like move it’s ears, light up, and speak.
Now, the API looks quite [...]
I recently built an application that was based on a yearly subscription model. After thinking about the various payment methods available, I decided to go with PayPal subscriptions. The advantages are obvious… No need for SSL, I don’t have to assume any of the risk of storing payment information, and I didn’t have to worry [...]
