Coding : Useful Google Calendar RSS Feed
|
|
You are NOT on the DirtyGreek.Org homepage. Please CLICK HERE to go there.
As I mentioned in my post below, if you're an RSS nerd like I am, Google Calendar's XML feeds are pretty much useless if you want to do any real work with them, because the pubDate of each item is when it was posted to the calendar, not when it occurs. This makes sense in one sense, but it definitely doesn't make sense if you want to use it as a real RSS feed. Since Google isn't producing a useful RSS feed yet, I went ahead and did the work for them. Granted, it's a hackjob, and it probably has tons of bugs, but it's a start.
If you'd like to try it out on my server, use this url
http://www.dirtygreek.org/gcal-rss.php?email=YOURGOOGLEEMAIL&timerange=24
Obviously, change YOURGOOGLEEMAIL to the email you use to log into google calendar. Timerange indicates how many hours into the future the feed should show. Can be left at 24 or left off entirely for a default of 24 hours, or you can modify it to suit your needs. 24 hours means that the newest item in the feed will be the latest item on your calendar within 24 hours, and it will progress backwards from there.
UPDATE: I've added a new feature. If you want to access another calendar besides your default,
just use
http://www.dirtygreek.org/gcal-rss.php?calendarfeed=FEED&calendarlink=LINK
where FEED looks like:
http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/george.d.peterson%40gmail.com/public/basic
and where LINK looks like http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=george.d.peterson%40gmail.com
(which you get from the HTML sharing link)
Download gcal-rss here.

simplified calendar feed |
| Hey man, thanks for this feed hack. I was wondering if you have a simplified version of it. Basically I'd like something like,
My great event name- March 25, 2008
(as a link of course).
Thanks, Danny |
