Google Calendar APIs and Tools

Google Calendar allows client applications to view and update calendar events in the form of Google Data API feeds. Your client application can use the Google Calendar Data API to create new events, edit or delete existing events, and query for events that match particular criteria.

There are many possible uses for the Calendar Data API. For example, you can create a web front end for your group's calendar that uses Google Calendar as a back end. Or you can generate a public calendar for Google Calendar to display, based on your organization's event database. Or you can search relevant calendars to display a list of upcoming events on those calendars.

This document provides detailed examples for using the PHP Client Library to work with the Google Calendar service. You can download the client library as a standalone release (distributed by Zend) or as part of the Zend Framework. For help setting up the client library, see the Getting Started Guide. You will find examples of adding events, updating events, deleting events and querying events. If you're interested in understanding more about the underlying protocol used by the Zend Google Data APIs Client Library to interact with the Calendar Data API, please see the protocol tab.
