Re: How to Perform a Search Within Events?

You should look at the protocol spec on the Google Data API page. There are a couple of parameters that you can use from python as well.

If you go and cache, or not, depends on how frequently the base set get's changed, so that is something i can not give you an advise on.

I would probably do a mix of datarange queries and full text queries to get the minimal set and see how that performs in your scenario.

Hi,

Basically I want to use Python and be able to search my calendar for
events containing a certain word like "dentist" in the title or
description.  I haven't found an API that does this, but I already have
most of the http machinery built and really just need to figure out the
concept.

I'm thinking A.) Do I download the whole calendar via my private feed
and then parse the XML and search that, or B.) is there a way to send a
keyword type query to the API to have it do the search for me?

And finally B.) part 2, if I plan on making lots of search calls, would
it still be better to save the full calendar and then search the xml?

I tried to research this myself but the date range query seems to be in
Java and not XML.

Thanks,

Greg
