The Google Calendar API is a RESTful API that can be accessed through explicit HTTP
calls or using the Google Client Libraries. The API exposes most of the features
available in the Google Calendar Web interface.
Following is a list of common terms used in the Google Calendar API:
An event on a calendar containing information such as the title, start and end
times, and attendees. Events can be either single events or recurring
events. An event is
represented by an
Event resource.
A collection of events. Each calendar has associated metadata, such as
calendar description or default calendar time zone. The metadata for a single
calendar is represented by a
Calendar resource.
A list of all calendars on a user's calendar list in the Calendar UI. The
metadata for a single calendar that appears on the calendar list is represented
by a
CalendarListEntry resource.
This metadata includes user-specific properties of the calendar, such
as its color or notifications for new events.
An access control rule granting a user (or a group of users) a specified level
of access to a calendar. A single access control rule is represented by an ACL
resource.
