It's not just me, it seems:

The gcalcli folks are seeing the same thing.

Looks like something changed on google's side. <sigh>

I switched to gcalcli. It works with the v3 API and it's a nice
replacement for the calendar portion of googlecl.

Hi guys,

Please see
http://googleappsdeveloper.blogspot.com/2011/11/introducing-next-version-of-google.html

V2 API was deprecated on Nov 17, could you please switch to V3 API?

At this point? Nope. gcalcli isn't bad at all; just annoying I need a
separate program just for this bit.

Is there any plan to switch to V3 API? I tried gcalcli but it's quite
different from googlecl and it lacks some features. For example I can't get
a list of events from a specified calendar only.

jacopo: gcacli --calendar "YourCal" agenda.

Run "galcli --help" to see more options; I've switched already: one week
and no answer from googcle's upstream is not a good sign.

Has someone installed gcalcli on Cygwin? I had a lot of problems and
actually it doesn't work for me.

annoying. Can't start develop everything on gcalcli. That was all the fun
in googlecl and now it's ruined :(

It should be clear by now that this won't be fixed anytime soon: upstream
hasn't bothered to comment on the issue at all.

AFAIAC, I've moved on to gcalcli and am happy with it: moving my existing
code wasn't particularly fun, but at least I'm now backed by responsive
upstream and a lively community.

I don't know how to use gcalcli so I'm probably just gonna be waiting
forever for a fix that'll never come. :(

same problem. same frustration. can anybody explain why? or better yet tell
me, if there is some chance to use new standards/services whatever _within_
googlecl?

Based on all comments here, and everything I've found in the web, it sounds
like we're just left to assume that google doesn't plan to support command
line access via windows anymore.

There is always gcalcli but that is linux only. And so far, google refuses
to answer any googlecl related questions or even admit that the questions
exist.

So, after a few days of frustrating "nonresponse", I hired a guy to rewrite
googlecl for me, so my client will still be happy.

If any of you are interested, you're welcome to have copies of it if you
help me pay him. Contact me at gabriel...@gmail.com for details. We're
rewriting it in Java, using the Java API. For me, he's just planning on
handling Add and Delete since thats all I need but if someone wants other
googlecl functionality, now is the time to chime in.

Yeah, he finished it, its working great for my client.

It doesn't support the full functionality, just the functionality that I
needed. Specifically, you can add, update, or delete events, and, better
then googlecl, it actually returns the event id so that your program can
accurately delete it later.

If anyone is interested, feel free to contact me and I'll put you in touch
with him.

If you need some other feature of googlecl, he'd probably be open to adding
it for a cost.

But, i'm happy to admit, I have my problem solved!
