Google+ Communities can be treated the same as Profiles and Pages for some things in the Public Data API. You can just replace the profile_id with the community_id and most things will work. The Community probably needs to be public, however. You can only use the activities.list and activities.get methods to get posts from the community - there is no way to get information about the community itself (the equivalent of people.get).

Events are also available using the API and are more or less like comments. There are some differences, of course, and it does not always turn up in search results the same way. You may also want to look into the Google Calendar API and access events through that interface instead.

The APIs do not provide support for getting any type of Google+ Community post even if they are public. In the past this worked, but it was never supported and has since stopped working.

Prisoner's answer is now out of date.

There is a feature request to access the community activities though it's not currently supported by the public api, here's the link: https://code.google.com/p/google-plus-platform/issues/detail?id=639
