Google Calendar API event insert always return 404 "not found" error

Question

I tried the calendar insert example from here : https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/events/insert#examples No matter which property i use, i always get the 404 "not found" error. Anyone can shed some light on this? Many thanks!!!

response: 404 Not Found

{  "error": {   "errors": [    {     "domain": "global",     "reason": "notFound",     "message": "Not Found"    }   ],   "code": 404,   "message": "Not Found"  } } 

Answer 1

I believe it's telling you that the calendar "test" resource cannot be found. Have you created a calendar called "test"? If you replace "test" with "primary" (your main calendar) then the Explorer should work.

To JuanPablo, Re non-primary calendar:

In case of non-primary calendar you have to use the id (in form of an email address) as the calendarId.

Example: Let's say you have a calendar named 'test'. You get its id like this

GET https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/users/me/calendarList?key={YOUR_API_KEY} -> {  "kind": "calendar#calendarList", ...  "items": [   {     "kind": "calendar#calendarListEntry",    "etag": ...,    "id": "[email protected]",    "summary": "test",    "description": "Testing calendar for development of Calendar related applications", ...    }   }  ] } 

Your POST will then look like this

POST https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/[email protected]/events?sendNotifications=false&fields=start&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
