    <p>I've been reading the docs for the Google Calendar API and the google-api-ruby-client library, but I'm having a lot of trouble understanding them.</p> <p>I have a Rails application that has a front end that lets users create objects called Events, and it saves them in a database on my server. What I would like is, after these Events are saved in the database, I want to call the Google Calendar API to create an event on a Google Calendar (that the server created, and only the server has access to modify that calendar). </p> <p>I'm having lots of issues figuring out how to authenticate with the API using the ruby library. It doesn't make sense for me to use OAuth2 because I don't need to authorize anything with the user because I'm not interested in their data. I looked into Service Accounts (http://code.google.com/p/google-api-ruby-client/wiki/ServiceAccounts), but it looks like Google Calendars is not supported by Service Accounts. </p> <p>Anyone have any ideas? This is the code I was experimenting with (using Service Accounts):</p> <pre><code>@client = Google::APIClient.new(:key =&gt; 'my_api_key') path_to_key_file = '/somepath/aaaaaa-privatekey.p12' passphrase = 'my_pass_phrase' key = Google::APIClient::PKCS12.load_key(path_to_key_file, passphrase) asserter = Google::APIClient::JWTAsserter.new( 'blah_blah@developer.gserviceaccount.com', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar', key) # To request an access token, call authorize: @client.authorization = asserter.authorize() calendar = @client.discovered_api('calendar', 'v3') event = { 'summary' =&gt; 'Appointment', 'location' =&gt; 'Somewhere', 'start' =&gt; { 'dateTime' =&gt; '2012-06-03T10:00:00.000-07:00' }, 'end' =&gt; { 'dateTime' =&gt; '2012-06-03T10:25:00.000-07:00' }, 'attendees' =&gt; [ { 'email' =&gt; 'attendeeEmail' }, #... ] } result = @client.execute!(:api_method =&gt; calendar.events.insert, :parameters =&gt; {'calendarId' =&gt; 'primary'}, :body =&gt; JSON.dump(event), :headers =&gt; {'Content-Type' =&gt; 'application/json'}) </code></pre> <p>Then of course I get this error message: Google::APIClient::ClientError (The user must be signed up for Google Calendar.) because the Service Account does not support Google Calendars.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
