Google Calendar & Python

[MeeranRizvi]

Hello Guys,
In this python script i am going to sync my google calendar events to the script.
I have gone through the setup of the API, I know that it works because if I just use the example script to show the next 10 events as given by Google it works fine.
But what issue i am facing is when i tried to create events it throws me the error.

from __future__ import print_function
import httplib2
import os

from apiclient import discovery
from oauth2client import client
from oauth2client import tools
from oauth2client.file import Storage

import datetime

try:
   import argparse
   flags = argparse.ArgumentParser(parents=[tools.argparser]).parse_args()
except ImportError:
   flags = None

SCOPES = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar'
CLIENT_SECRET_FILE = 'Client_Secret.json'
APPLICATION_NAME = 'Google Calendar API Python Quickstart'


def get_credentials():

   home_dir = os.path.expanduser('~')
   credential_dir = os.path.join(home_dir, '.credentials')
   if not os.path.exists(credential_dir):
       os.makedirs(credential_dir)
   credential_path = os.path.join(credential_dir,
                                  'calendar-python-quickstart.json')

   store = Storage(credential_path)
   credentials = store.get()
   if not credentials or credentials.invalid:
       flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets(CLIENT_SECRET_FILE, SCOPES)
       flow.user_agent = APPLICATION_NAME
       if flags:
           credentials = tools.run_flow(flow, store, flags)
       else:
           credentials = tools.run(flow, store)
       print('Storing credentials to ' + credential_path)
   return credentials

def main():

   credentials = get_credentials()
   http = credentials.authorize(httplib2.Http())
   service = discovery.build('calendar', 'v3', http=http)

   GMT_OFF = '+05:30'    
   event = {
   'summary': 'Dinner with friends',
   'start':   {'dateTime': '2017-05-28T19:00:00%s' % GMT_OFF},
   'end':     {'dateTime': '2015-05-28T22:00:00%s' % GMT_OFF},
   }

   event = service.events().insert(calendarId='primary', body=event).execute()
   print('Event created: %s' % (event.get('htmlLink')))




if __name__ == '__main__':
   main()

I cannot get past the following error:

Output:

The error is saying that you don't have the correct credentials to perform the operation.
you can see from the traceback that when the insert was attempted, it was rejected for lack of
permission.
So maybe when you set that up, it was for read only, or you might have a typo is your 'credentials'

Looking at the example insert here: https://developers.google.com/google-app...nts/insert
it appears that you have to specifically instantiate each event, for example:

instanciate event:

Event event = new Event()
    .setSummary("Google I/O 2015")
    .setLocation("800 Howard St., San Francisco, CA 94103")
    .setDescription("A chance to hear more about Google's developer products.");

set end date and time:

DateTime endDateTime = new DateTime("2015-05-28T17:00:00-07:00");
EventDateTime end = new EventDateTime()
    .setDateTime(endDateTime)
    .setTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles");
event.setEnd(end);

Note that there is a 'new' for each step.
I don't see similar code in your script

This is not Python code (new ?!) - looks like you've forgotten to select Python tab
