    <p>I want to access the Google Calendar API to insert entries with Python. I created a <strong>Service account</strong> on the Google API console, added an private key, downloaded it.</p> <p>But when I try to modify anyting of my calendar, it is on the same account, I get the following error message. Reading works.</p> <p>Code is</p> <pre><code>import httplib2 from oauth2client.client import SignedJwtAssertionCredentials from apiclient.discovery import build event = { 'summary' : 'Appointment', 'location' : 'Somewhere', 'start' : { 'dateTime' : '2012-09-03T10:00:00.000-07:00' }, 'end' : { 'dateTime' : '2012-09-03T10:25:00.000-07:00' } } f = file("key.p12", "rb") key = f.read() f.close() credentials = SignedJwtAssertionCredentials( service_account_name='423291807109-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxx@developer.gserviceaccount.com', private_key=key, scope='https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar' ) http = httplib2.Http() http = credentials.authorize(http) service = build('calendar', 'v3', http=http) request = service.events().insert(calendarId='XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX@group.calendar.google.com', body=event) response = request.execute() print(response) </code></pre> <p>Error message is:</p> <pre><code>apiclient.errors.HttpError: &lt;HttpError 403 when requesting https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX@group.calendar.google.com/events?alt=json returned "Forbidden"&gt; </code></pre> <p>I would have thought that I can access my own data with this service account, but it seems not to be.</p> <p>Google claims that</p> <blockquote> <p>After the Service Account has been created, you will also have access to the client ID associated with the private key. You will need both when coding your application. - <a href="https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2?hl=de#scenarios">https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2?hl=de#scenarios</a></p> </blockquote> <p>I googled about 2 hours, but it seems to be documented very bad. Is there a way I can insert new events via the Google Calendar API without user interaction (aka 3-legged OAuth) or is there a way to fix it?</p> <p>I just found deprecated ClientLoging. Why does Google makes it that difficult?</p> <p>Kind regards</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.
