Hi Arvind, Calendar Data JavaScript client libary is the only that actually requires a developer key. All the things you mentioned regarding authentication are handled inherently, thus there is no need to make XHR request to explicitly parse out the auth token. Please take a look at the samples applications built on top of our GData JavaScript API to see how authentication is performed and also the link to the JavaScript Developer Guide for more details:
