Hi, Sorry that you had so much trouble trying to get this to work. The edit URL for an event in a calendar should be present if you have "write" access (ability to create/update/delete event) to that calendar. This means that you either have owner or editor access to this calendar. You have owner access to any calendars that you created and thus have "write" access to them. Any calendars you have subscribed to, the owner of that calendar must explicitly grant owner or editor access with you in order for you to have "write" access, otherwise when you pull the event feed for the calendar you won't be able to see the edit URL.
Another thing to look for is to make sure you are using the private/full feed URL when you submit the GET request. Feed URL should look like - http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/[CAL_ID]/private/full Replace CAL_ID with the calendar ID, you should always use private/full otherwise you won't be able to see the edit URL. The edit URL would look like this as an XML element - <atom:link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href=" http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/default/private/full/a9f0ijqfg2qvrc2a1bc8i67er8/63344689609 "/> Lastly, make sure that you are not specifying an alternative format such as RSS or JSON. Those feeds format are for read-only, hence no edit URL will be returned. These information I just gave can be found in the Calendar Reference Guide - http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/reference.html Hope that helps, Austin On Thu, Apr 24, 2008 at 11:53 PM, rgarito <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > First of all, I want to repeat the concerns of many of the other > posters here that the documentation for the Google Calendar API is > quite frankly, terrible.
