According to the documentation, http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/reference.html#Parameters, the futureevents parameter "overrides the recurrence-expansion-start, recurrence-expansion-end, start-min, and start-max values." So, if you use futureevents, you will retrieve all events that are in the future, irrespective of any other date related parameter that you pass. > Correct me if I'm wrong > but won't this go to something like 2031?. The latest events that I see in my feeds are dated April 14, 2038, and the event that would occur on April 19, 2038 does not appear. It's not clear what Google is doing here, this date range is after the Unix time rollover. Perhaps it is a more than 30 times 365 days in the future from today? > What I'm after is to have > a constantly moving window, so you can specify a date range and then > as it flicks over to the next day it moves on by one day.

I hope that makes sense. I'm not sure that I understand your exact problem. There is no way to explicitly query for events by their modification date, but you can get a moving window of events by specifying start- max and start-min on every request. Something like start- min=2008-04-24&start-max=2008-04-25 would retrieve all of today's events as I write and then start-min=2008-04-25&start-max=2008-04-26 would retrieve all tomorrow's (I say all presuming that there were fewer than max-results on each of these days). The lastmodified parameter value covers only the sort order of the returned results and orderby=lastmodified is the default so that value shouldn't have any impact on your results, but you could use it to feed the results to your code in a sensible order for further processing.
