Update Installations Instructions

Open julienchastang opened this issue 9 years ago • 5 comments

This project looks great and I am eager to make use of it. I think the installation instructions concerning the Google Developer Console need to be updated as they are out of sync with what I am seeing. Once I click on the project, I see no way to "Click on APIs & Auth then Credentials".

I've done it just now, these are the new instructions:


  1. Click on API Manager then Credentials
  2. Click on Create New OAuth Client ID with Application type Other. Name it.
  3. Click on Create Client ID
  4. Record the Client ID and Client secret for setup.
  5. Under the same API Manager menu section, select Library
  6. Search for Calendar API. Click the Status button to enable calendar API access to the app you created in steps 5 & 6.

After that is almost all the same. I will submit a PR if you are able to follow through.

@braiam Thank you! Yes that worked pretty much. The trick is to find the API manager (not the Google Developer Console which led me astray). Also, I did not see a status button but that may have been because I had sort of figured this out after I submitted the issue and I think I had already enabled to Google Calendar API. At any rate, I think a PR would be good with a direct link to the API manager. Thanks again!

  1. Click on Create New OAuth Client ID with Application type Other. Name it.
  1. is now Create credentials -> OAuth client ID -> Other
