Google API

[Kristoffer Isaksson]

Hello.
I am testing this Node https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-contrib-google and trying to access google calendar, but I get this error message:

Error: Missing required parameters: calendarId

Does anyone here use this Node and maybe knows how to pass that parameter to the Node?

I have tried with msg.calendarId with no success.

Thanks

It's not a parameter that you pass to the node therefore I think that's a Google error message rather than a Node-Red one.

(although you can pass a calendar name with msg.calendar if you are creating a calendar event)

Have you granted access to both the Google+API and the Google Calendar API?

The Google API is a little bit fussy, I remember it being a bit of trial and error to initially set it up

Thanks for the reply.

I just got a reply from the creater of the node and he told me that the parameter should be passed with msg.payload. so in this case msg.payload.calendarId

But if i try this in a function node and then connect a debug node and try to read msg.payload.calendarId then it is undefined

msg.payload.calendarId = "TheId"; return msg;

With that function code, it will depend what msg.payload is coming into the function as to whether that will work.

You will be better doing:

msg.payload = { calendarId: "TheId"}; return msg;

oops, my mistake.

Sorry I read google and assumed you meant this one http://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-google

Which I use to retrieve calendar events every day.

[Kristoffer Isaksson]

Thanks, that was exactly what I needed.

I was using a simple Inject node to feed the function node

No problem,
I was looking at that node also but when i noticed that it had not been updated in 1 year and 8 month then I continued to look for a node that was updated more recently.

Hey Kristoffer,

Nice to see you in here!

BR Walter (you know EventGhost, SwitchKing etc etc)

Hello Walter.

Nice to see you to, was long time ago we had any discussions :)

Now i focus on Node-RED and Z-way, it is possible to build very nice solutions with this software.
