terminal google calendar using openai

this project utilizes the gcsa package for google calendar integration and openai for generating event details. ensure you have an openai api key to use this functionality.

• add new events to your google calendar
• delete events from your calendar
• view existing events
• manage calendar settings

you'l need

• python 3.x
• google calendar api credentials.json (oauth)

Setting up credentials

1. Create a directory called credentials in your project root.

2. Add your credentials.json file to the credentials directory.

3. Create a .env.local file in your project root with the following content:

   CREDENTIALS_PATH=/path/to/your/project/credentials/credentials.json
   TOKEN_PATH=/path/to/your/project/credentials/token.pickle
   

   Replace /path/to/your/project with the actual path to your project directory.

4. The token.pickle file will be automatically generated when you first authenticate with Google Calendar.

Make sure to update the authenticate_calendar.py file to use these environment variables for authentication.

if you have a credentials.json (clientsecret*.json) file (see getting started), googlecalendar will read all the needed data to generate the token and refresh-token from it.

to read credentials.json (clientsecret*.json) from the default directory (~/.credentials) use:

gc = googlecalendar()

usage

run main script:

python main.py

follow the on-screen prompts to interact with your google calendar.
