## Description

GDataCalendarService is a subclass of GDataService for communicating with the GData API of Google Calendar. It supports querying for, inserting, editing and deleting events from calendars, as well as operations on the calendars themselves.

For more details of Google Calendar's GData API, see the

online documentation.

Each calendar accessible through the service has an access control list (ACL) which defines the level of access to the calendar to each user, and which users the calendar is shared with. For more information about ACLs for calendars, see the

online documentation on sharing calendars.

Example 16. Retrieving the Access Control List for a Calendar

Before version 0.17.2, the Calendar service could be manipulated using batch operations. That is no longer supported, and any batch operations created on the calendar will fail.

## Functions

### gdata_calendar_service_new ()

    GDataCalendarService *
    gdata_calendar_service_new (GDataAuthorizer *authorizer);

Creates a new GDataCalendarService using the given GDataAuthorizer. If `authorizer` is `NULL`, all requests are made as an unauthenticated user.

#### Parameters

authorizer | a GDataAuthorizer to authorize the service's requests, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]

#### Returns

a new GDataCalendarService, or `NULL`; unref with `g_object_unref()`

Since: 0.9.0

### gdata_calendar_service_get_primary_authorization_domain ()

    GDataAuthorizationDomain *
    gdata_calendar_service_get_primary_authorization_domain
                                   (void);

The primary GDataAuthorizationDomain for interacting with Google Calendar. This will not normally need to be used, as it's used internally by the GDataCalendarService methods. However, if using the plain GDataService methods to implement custom queries or requests which libgdata does not support natively, then this domain may be needed to authorize the requests.

The domain never changes, and is interned so that pointer comparison can be used to differentiate it from other authorization domains.

#### Returns

the service's authorization domain.

[transfer none]

Since: 0.9.0

### gdata_calendar_service_query_all_calendars ()

    GDataFeed *
    gdata_calendar_service_query_all_calendars

                                    GError **error);

Queries the service to return a list of all calendars from the authenticated account which match the given `query` . It will return all calendars the user has read access to, including primary, secondary and imported calendars.

For more details, see `gdata_service_query()`.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataCalendarService |
query | a GDataQuery with the query parameters, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
cancellable | optional GCancellable object, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]

Queries the service to return a list of all calendars from the authenticated account which match the given `query` . `self` and `query` are all reffed when this function is called, so can safely be unreffed after this function returns.

For more details, see `gdata_calendar_service_query_all_calendars()`, which is the synchronous version of this function, and `gdata_service_query_async()`, which is the base asynchronous query function.

#### Parameters

destroy_progress_user_data | the function to call when `progress_callback` will not be called any more, or `NULL`. This function will be called with `progress_user_data` as a parameter and can be used to free any memory allocated for it. | [allow-none]
callback | a GAsyncReadyCallback to call when authentication is finished |
user_data | data to pass to the `callback` function. | [closure]

#### Parameters

self | a GDataCalendarService |
event | the GDataCalendarEvent to insert |
cancellable | optional GCancellable object, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]

`gdata_calendar_service_insert_event_async` has been deprecated since version 0.17.2 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use `gdata_calendar_service_insert_calendar_event_async()` instead to be able to specify the calendar to add the event to; otherwise the default calendar will be used.

Inserts `event` by uploading it to the online calendar service. `self` and `event` are both reffed when this function is called, so can safely be unreffed after this function returns.

`callback` should call `gdata_service_insert_entry_finish()` to obtain a GDataCalendarEvent representing the inserted event and to check for possible errors.

For more details, see `gdata_calendar_service_insert_event()`, which is the synchronous version of this function, and `gdata_service_insert_entry_async()`, which is the base asynchronous insertion function.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataCalendarService |
event | the GDataCalendarEvent to insert |
cancellable | optional GCancellable object, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
callback | a GAsyncReadyCallback to call when insertion is finished |
user_data | data to pass to the `callback` function. | [closure]

`gdata_calendar_service_insert_calendar_event` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Inserts `event` by uploading it to the online calendar service, adding it to the specified `calendar` .

For more details, see `gdata_service_insert_entry()`.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataCalendarService |
calendar | the GDataCalendarCalendar to insert the event into |
event | the GDataCalendarEvent to insert |
cancellable | optional GCancellable object, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
error | a GError, or `NULL` |

#### Returns

an updated GDataCalendarEvent, or `NULL`; unref with `g_object_unref()`.

### gdata_calendar_service_insert_calendar_event_async ()

    void
    gdata_calendar_service_insert_calendar_event_async
                                   (GDataCalendarService *self,
                                    GDataCalendarCalendar *calendar,
                                    GDataCalendarEvent *event,
                                    GCancellable *cancellable,
                                    GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                    gpointer user_data);

Inserts `event` by uploading it to the online calendar service, adding it to the specified `calendar` . `self` and `event` are both reffed when this function is called, so can safely be unreffed after this function returns.

`callback` should call `gdata_service_insert_entry_finish()` to obtain a GDataCalendarEvent representing the inserted event and to check for possible errors.

For more details, see `gdata_calendar_service_insert_event()`, which is the synchronous version of this function, and `gdata_service_insert_entry_async()`, which is the base asynchronous insertion function.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataCalendarService |
calendar | the GDataCalendarCalendar to insert the event into |
event | the GDataCalendarEvent to insert |
cancellable | optional GCancellable object, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
callback | a GAsyncReadyCallback to call when insertion is finished |
user_data | data to pass to the `callback` function. | [closure]
