Calendar API returning "500 Internal Server Error"

[Chris Hughes]

Intermittently all day I have been receiving this error from the Calendar API:

com.google.api.client.googleapis.json.GoogleJsonResponseException: 500 Internal Server Error

{

  "code" : 500,

  "errors" : [ {

    "domain" : "global",

    "message" : "Backend Error",

    "reason" : "backendError"

  } ],

  "message" : "Backend Error"

}

        at com.google.api.client.googleapis.json.GoogleJsonResponseException.from(GoogleJsonResponseException.java:143)

        at com.google.api.client.googleapis.services.json.AbstractGoogleJsonClientRequest.newExceptionOnError(AbstractGoogleJsonClientRequest.java:115)

        at com.google.api.client.googleapis.services.AbstractGoogleClientRequest.execute(AbstractGoogleClientRequest.java:458)

This is an interface that has been in place and working without error for the past 3 months. Any clue on how to trace and debug as this seems to be coming from the Google API backend servers?

Hello Chris,

This isn't the fault of Google App Engine, rather it's a problem with the Calendar API. There's a separate forum for Calendar, and it looks like multiple other people are reporting the same issue: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-calendar-api/tZAmqSOggPM . You may want to follow up on that forum.
