Setup

Google Calendar

1. Enable the API: To get started using Calendar API v3, you need to first create a project in the Google API Console, enable the API, and create credentials.

   Follow the instructions for step enabling the API here.

2. Add the new service account to the Google Calendar account with Read & Write permission.

   The newly created service account will have an email address that looks similar to: quickstart@PROJECT-ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com.

   Use this email address to add a user to the Google Calendar view you want to access via the API.

TripIt

To use this, you must enable "Web Authentication" on your account. You can follow the steps to do that here.
