I'm having a complete nightmare with this. I'm using the latest version of the PHP API from Github and just want to create events in a google calendar. There are tons of examples out there but many from a different version of the API where the calendar functions were in a contrib folder when now they're not. I've set everything up in the google developer console as guides state.
Using code I've found from a recent example here is what I'm using at the moment:
require_once './google-api/src/Google/Client.php';
require_once './google-api/src/Google/Service/Calendar.php';
session_start();
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setApplicationName("Google Calendar");
$client->setClientId('#');
$client->setClientSecret('#');
$client->setRedirectUri('#');
$client->setDeveloperKey('#');
$calendar_id = "#";
$cal = new Google_CalendarService($client);
if ($client->getAccessToken()){
echo "<hr><font size=+1>I have access to your calendar</font>";
$event = new Google_Event();
$event->setSummary('Halloween');
$event->setLocation('The Neighbourhood');
$start = new Google_EventDateTime();
$start->setDateTime('2013-9-29T10:00:00.000-05:00');
$event->setStart($start);
$end = new Google_EventDateTime();
$end->setDateTime('2013-9-29T10:25:00.000-05:00');
$event->setEnd($end);
$createdEvent = $cal->events->insert($calendarid, $event);
echo "<br><font size=+1>Event created</font>";
}
But I keep getting this error PHP Fatal error: Class 'Google_CalendarService' not found and the same for 'Google_Event' if I remove the CalendarService line.
The official documentation for this seems very inconsistent and inaccurate and so any help would be much appreciated.
I would recommend trying the example at: https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client/blob/master/examples/simple-query.php and then replacing the books service with the calendar service.
Google_CalendarService should be Google_Service_Calendar based on the latest version in github.
I think Google_Event should be Google_Service_Calendar_Event as well.

I'm trying to understand how I can generate and attach to a Google Calendar Event a Google Meet istance in PHP.
The documentation (https://developers.google.com/calendar/create-events#conferencing) is not clear about this part, the classes and methods for PHP are documented (https://developers.google.com/resources/api-libraries/documentation/calendar/v3/php/latest/class-Google_Service_Calendar_CreateConferenceRequest.html) so they exist. In the documentation there is a javacript example but I don't get how to translate it into php code.
I did some googling but no one else seems to had this necessity before.
UPDATE: I think I've found the problem. The javascript documentation reports that the setDocumentDataVersion(1) is required to allow to process the Meetings.
Here a brief doc about its use:
Version number of conference data supported by the API client. Version 0 assumes no conference data support and ignores conference data in the event's body. Version 1 enables support for copying of ConferenceData as well as for creating new conferences using the createRequest field of conferenceData. The default is 0.
This method doesn't seem to exist in the PHP API, so I cannot set it to 1.
That's may why my code fail to attach a google meet to my event.
Here my test code. Till here it works fine and it creates an event in my calendar.
# Booking
$calendarId = 'test#group.calendar.google.com'; #
$event = new Google_Service_Calendar_Event();
$event->setSummary('Test');
$event->setDescription('Test Test');
$start = new Google_Service_Calendar_EventDateTime();
$start->setDateTime('2020-11-30T19:00:00+01:00');
$event->setStart($start);
$end = new Google_Service_Calendar_EventDateTime();
$end->setDateTime('2020-11-30T19:20:00+01:00');
$event->setEnd($end);
$attendee1 = new Google_Service_Calendar_EventAttendee();
$attendee1->setEmail('mytestemail#testtest.com');
// ...
$attendees = array($attendee1,
// ...
);
$event->attendees = $attendees;
#Try to create a Google Meet and attach it to event
$solution_key = new Google_Service_Calendar_ConferenceSolutionKey();
$solution_key->setType("hangoutsMeet");
$confrequest = new Google_Service_Calendar_CreateConferenceRequest();
$confrequest->setRequestId("3whatisup3");
$confrequest->setConferenceSolutionKey($solution_key);
$confdata = new Google_Service_Calendar_ConferenceData();
$confdata->setCreateRequest($confrequest);
$event->setConferenceData($confdata);
$createdEvent = $service->events->insert($calendarId, $event);
Any suggestions?
I believe your goal and situation as follows.
You want to create new event with Google Meet using googleapis for php.
You have already been able to create new events using Calendar API.
In order to add Google Meet to for your script, conferenceDataVersion is set. In this case, it seems that the insert method is insert( string $calendarId, Google_Service_Calendar_Event $postBody, array $optParams = array() ). So please modify your script as follows.
From:
$createdEvent = $service->events->insert($calendarId, $event);
To:
$createdEvent = $service->events->insert($calendarId, $event, array('conferenceDataVersion' => 1));

I am trying to insert events into Google Calendar, but I get errors everytime. I've been searching for hours to get answer, but I found nothing for my problem. I tested a lot of examples, without success. I'm new in Google Calendar, and I can't really understand the google api documentation.
I have a Fullcalendar which uses the Google Calendar (Gcal) as backend. I can read data from Gcal without any problems. When I try to displayed using Fullcalendar, but when I want to write some test datas into Gcal it gives me errors. I want to make a Calendar application which serves as a reservation app. So I have a Calendar, which is displayed to everyone who enter the page, and they can reserve appointments, which are stored in my Google Calendar.
The main is problem is that, I don't really know how to make the connection to Google Calendar for writing data. Every sample I've seen, solves the problem different way, major of them are outdated, some of them uses Sessions, but I don't need Session because the Calendar I want to display is FIX, everyone sees the same.
The code:
require_once 'Google/src/Google/autoload.php';
require_once "Google/src/Google/Client.php";
require_once "Google/src/Google/Service/Calendar.php";
$client_id = 'XXXXXXXXXX-f9ltk86b2klat20k1osmfbgpu4u1vqse.apps.googleusercontent.com';
$client_secret = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX';
$key = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'; // Server Key
$email_address = 'XXXXXXXXXXXX-f9ltk86b2klat20k1osmfbgpu4u1vqse#developer.gserviceaccount.com';
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setApplicationName("Calendar");
$client->setClientId($client_id);
$client->setClientSecret($client_secret);
$client->setDeveloperKey($key);
$client->setScopes(array(
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login',
));
$cal = new Google_Service_Calendar($client);
$event = new Google_Service_Calendar_Event();
$event->setSummary('Title');
$event->setDescription('Title');
$event->setLocation('Somewhere');
$start = new Google_Service_Calendar_EventDateTime();
$start->setDateTime('2013-08-17T16:00:00.000-07:00');
$event->setStart($start);
$end = new Google_Service_Calendar_EventDateTime();
$end->setDateTime('2013-08-17T17:00:00.000-07:00');
$event->setEnd($end);
$createdEvent = $cal->events->insert('<Calendar ID>', $event);
The exception it generates:

code ripped from tutorial PHP Google Calendar service account
Tip: make sure that you have given the service account access to the calendar in question. You just need to add the service account email to the calendar like you would any other user.
I have very little experience working with the google api and I'm finding it difficult to find relevant information on certain subjects.
What I'm trying to do is create a calendar that requires no log in information from the user. I want my server to add events to the calendar based off of information in a database.
I have gone into my google calendars, created a new one, and worked up some code to add events to the calendar. Then I use the iframe code that google provides to embed the calendar into my site.
The problem I'm running into is that the server wants the user to be logged in as me to add events to the calendar. Since the server is the one adding the events, I'm not really sure how to work around this. I know I need to make/use a service account so my server can "delegate domain-wide authority", but I'm not sure how to do this using the client library for PHP. No examples are provided by google. I had to download a p12 file that my server needs to make these api calls, but I'm not sure how to point to the file using the client library. Is it possible to use the php client library to hook into a service account to make these api calls? If so, how?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem and found the solution (in a round about way) here:
Inserting Google Calendar Entries with Service Account
First thing is to set up your Google calendar correctly (see above mentioned post which describes it very well), then download the API code for the Calendar from here https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client
It's the Download ZIP link on the right of that page.
Then here is some sample code which works for me (private keys replaced with xxxx where appropriate, but otherwise it's exactly what I'm using).
I'm now trying to find out how to read & clear a Google Calendar, which is proving even more challenging!

Using OAuth2 to login and give your server rights to access your calendar account is really simple and well documented (with the google api php client). If you request offline access and store the refresh token, you can log in "as you" server-side at any time.
See Google Accounts Authentication and Authorization: Offline access
I have activated the google API console https://code.google.com/apis/console and I've created a project, including the OAuth credentials. I've chosen the "desktop application" setting, since this app is going to run outside of the browser, from the CLI (and actually only on my computer).
I have also downloaded the client library as described here: https://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/.
I have edited google-api-php-client/src/config.php editing the keys application_name, oauth2_client_id, oauth2_client_secret, oauth2_redirect_uri and developer_key and nothing else.
I have deleted all other services from services too.
Now, I have the following app, put together from the samples in the guide:
<?php
require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/apiClient.php';
require_once "google-api-php-client/src/contrib/apiCalendarService.php";
session_start();
$apiClient = new apiClient();
$apiClient->setUseObjects(true);
$service = new apiCalendarService($apiClient);
if (isset($_SESSION['oauth_access_token'])) {
$apiClient->setAccessToken($_SESSION['oauth_access_token']);
} else {
$token = $apiClient->authenticate();
$_SESSION['oauth_access_token'] = $token;
}
$event = new Event();
$event->setSummary('Appointment');
$event->setLocation('Somewhere');
$start = new EventDateTime();
$start->setDateTime('2011-06-03T10:00:00.000-07:00');
$start->setTimeZone('America/Los_Angeles');
$event->setStart($start);
$end = new EventDateTime();
$end->setDateTime('2011-06-03T10:25:00.000-07:00');
$end->setTimeZone('America/Los_Angeles');
$event->setEnd($end);
$event->setRecurrence(array('RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20110701T100000-07:00'));
$attendee1 = new EventAttendee();
$attendee1->setEmail('attendeeEmail');
// ...
$attendees = array($attendee1,
// ...
);
$event->attendees = $attendees;
$recurringEvent = $service->events->insert('primary', $event);
echo $recurringEvent->getId();
However I'm getting the following error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'apiServiceException' with message 'Error calling POST https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events?key=<the-key>: (401) Login Required' in /home/flav/projects/.../google-api-php-client/src/io/apiREST.php on line 86

How to fix this?
Oh, and on the google API console, I have two values for Redirect URIs:, urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob and http://localhost, which one should I use for oauth2_redirect_uri?
I think this can be caused by several things. my 2 cents:
Do you have several calendars registered? Maybe your calendar which you'd like to insert events into isn't the "primary" (=default?) calendar (or your Oauth cred data refer to a different calendar).
If so, replace this line
$service->events->insert('primary', $event);
with
$calendar_id = "somelongstring#group.calendar.google.com"; //look this up from calendar /settings calendar details settings page at the bottom
$service->events->insert($calendar_id, $event);
The calendar id is a bit hard to find...look it up. You can find it, for example, on your google account home page /calendar /gear symbol /settings / click calendar-name / calendar details settings page, at the bottom.
My redirect url (for a web app, though) points to the .php page that issued the oauth request. If authenticated I define another redirect, this time my own. Confusing? yes, but it works for me.
I want to create new event at google calendar from Service Account.
I can access correctly and print a list all my calendars.
But when I want to create a new event the response is 403 Forbidden.
My code:
require_once 'src/Google_Client.php';
require_once 'src/contrib/Google_CalendarService.php';
session_start();
const CLIENT_ID = 'XXXXXXXXXX.apps.googleusercontent.com';
const SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME = 'XXXXXXXXXXXX#developer.gserviceaccount.com';
const KEY_FILE = 'google_src/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-privatekey.p12';
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setApplicationName("APP_NAME");
if (isset($_SESSION['token'])) {
$client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['token']);
}
$key = file_get_contents(KEY_FILE);
$client->setClientId(CLIENT_ID);
$client->setAssertionCredentials(new Google_AssertionCredentials(
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME,
'https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/MY_CALENDAR_ID/private/full/',
$key)
);
$client->setClientId(CLIENT_ID);
$cal = new Google_CalendarService($client);
$event = new Google_Event();
$event->setSummary('Bon dia pel matÃ!');
$event->setLocation('Somewhere');
$start = new Google_EventDateTime();
$start->setDateTime('2012-08-06T10:00:00.000-07:00');
$event->setStart($start);
$end = new Google_EventDateTime();
$end->setDateTime('2012-09-06T10:25:00.000-07:00');
$event->setEnd($end);
$createdEvent = $cal->events->insert(CALENDAR_NAME, $event);
And server response:
(403) Forbidden
Any ideas? Maybe other scope, or allow edit events (I dont know where I can configure this and I have searched it, promise)
Of course, my calendar is a public calendar.
Any help will be welcome :)
Thanks!
I solved it, and the issue was not code, It works fine.
The problem was sharing my calendar. Something that I don't knew.
To allow edit your calendar events from service account, do not have enough with all steps you do in the Google Api Console, you have to give permission from your calendar configuration (Calendar configuration -> Share this calendar) to the email account specified into Google Api Console (email adress).
This can be a problem if it's a business account, then you will have to contact the account administrator.
The code shown here works correctly, so I hope it helps someone, just remember that you must use 475 version of the Google Api Client.
You can find at this link: http://google-api-php-client.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/
