I started with quickstart (https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/quickstart/python) and it worked good. Then i tried to insert event with this guide (https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/create-events). I added this code to the code from quickstart and got error. How should look my code to insert event in my google calendar?
So this is my code:
from __future__ import print_function
import httplib2
import os
from apiclient import discovery
import oauth2client
from oauth2client import client
from oauth2client import tools
import datetime
try:
import argparse
flags = argparse.ArgumentParser(parents=[tools.argparser]).parse_args()
except ImportError:
flags = None
# If modifying these scopes, delete your previously saved credentials
# at ~/.credentials/calendar-python-quickstart.json
SCOPES = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar'
CLIENT_SECRET_FILE = 'client_secret.json'
APPLICATION_NAME = 'Google Calendar API Python Quickstart'
def get_credentials():
"""Gets valid user credentials from storage.
If nothing has been stored, or if the stored credentials are invalid,
the OAuth2 flow is completed to obtain the new credentials.
Returns:
Credentials, the obtained credential.
"""
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 = oauth2client.file.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: # Needed only for compatibility with Python 2.6
credentials = tools.run(flow, store)
print('Storing credentials to ' + credential_path)
return credentials
def main():
"""Shows basic usage of the Google Calendar API.

10 events on the user's calendar.
"""
credentials = get_credentials()
http = credentials.authorize(httplib2.Http())
service = discovery.build('calendar', 'v3', http=http)
# Refer to the Python quickstart on how to setup the environment:
# https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/quickstart/python
# Change the scope to 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar' and delete any

event = service.events().insert(calendarId='primary', body=event).execute()
print ('Event created: %s' % (event.get('htmlLink')))
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
This is mistake:

Problem was in folder ".credentials". I didn't delete it after previous starting of quickstart example with
SCOPES = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly'
I just deleted this folder and program works. because now
SCOPES = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar'
