The Google Calendar API allows you to create and modify events on Google Calendar. Starting today, you can use the API to also attach Google Drive files to Calendar events to make them—and your app—even more useful and integrated. With the API, you can easily attach meeting notes or add PDFs of booking confirmations to events.
Heres how you set it up:
1) Get the file information from Google Drive (e.g. via the Google Drive API):
GET https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files
{
...
"items": [
{
"kind": "drive#file",
"id": "9oNKwQI7dkW-xHJ3eRvTO6Cp92obxs1kJsZLFRGFMz9Q,
...
"alternateLink": "https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/9oNKwQI7dkW-xHJ3eRvTO6Cp92obxs1kJsZLFRGFMz9Q/edit?usp=drivesdk",
"title": "Workout plan",
"mimeType": "application/vnd.google-apps.presentation",
...
},
...
]
}
2) Pass this information into an event modification operation using the Calendar API:
POST https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events?supportsAttachments=true
{
"summary": "Workout",
"start": { ... },
"end": { ... },
...
"attachments": [
{
"fileUrl": "https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/9oNKwQI7dkW-xHJ3eRvTO6Cp92obxs1kJsZLFRGFMz9Q/edit?usp=drivesdk",
"title": "Workout plan",
"mimeType": "application/vnd.google-apps.presentation"
},
...
]
}
Voilà!
You don’t need to do anything special in order to see the existing attachments - they are now always exposed as part of an event:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events/ja58khmqndmulcongdge9uekm7
{
"kind": "calendar#event",
"id": "ja58khmqndmulcongdge9uekm7",
"summary": "Workout",
...
"attachments": [
{
"fileUrl": "https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/9oNKwQI7dkW-xHJ3eRvTO6Cp92obxs1kJsZLFRGFMz9Q/edit?usp=drivesdk",
"title": "Workout plan",
"mimeType": "application/vnd.google-apps.presentation",
"iconLink": "https://ssl.gstatic.com/docs/doclist/images/icon_11_presentation_list.png"
},
...
]
}

After previewing it earlier this summer, today the Google Fit APIs are fully available on Android, Android Wear and the web so that you can build and publish apps for users on Google Play. Head to developers.google.com/fit to learn more.
The Google Fit platform gives the user one place to keep all their fitness activities. With the user’s permission, any developer can store or read the user’s data from Google Fit and use it to build powerful and useful fitness experiences for their users.
For users, we’re also launching the Google Fit app on Google Play for smartphones, tablets, Wear, and on the web at google.com/fit. The Google Fit app provides users with effortless, all-day activity tracking, as well as displaying key fitness data that our partners have stored in the platform. This app will also provide an opportunity for users to discover apps that help them track their fitness goals using Google Fit.
To get a quick introduction to the Fit APIs, check out the Dev Byte videos below.
A number of partners from around the fitness industry have been hard at work preparing their apps for Google Fit. In the coming weeks, our previously-announced launch partners, Nike+ Running, Withings HealthMate, Runkeeper, Runtastic, and Noom Coach, will launch their Google Fit integrations. We’re also happy to announce 6 new Google Fit partners: Strava, MapMyRun, LynxFit, LifeSum, FatSecret, and Azumio. These new partners are also preparing great experiences that will launch soon.
Please join the Google Fit Developer Community to share ideas and get inspired. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
