I have two Google accounts logged in on my browser.
?authUser=0 is my personal account and ?authUser=1 is my work account.
When I'm looking at Google Calendar API documentation, (ex. https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/events/list?authuser=1),
even though the url has ?authUser=1, the API Explorer is always using the auth from my personal account(authUser=0).
It used to behave correctly before the API Explorer was moved to the sidebar.

For improved security, that side-bar is also an iframe that isolates API Explorer onto a separate domain. That parameter currently isn't passed along to it. That can pretty easily be added. Thanks for reporting this.

This should be fixed now (or within ~10 minutes if your browser is caching).
