I actually was looking at the queryTodaysEvents sample code, but had been unable to modify it to not require authenticated access.
If I build up the URLs myself and then request event info from the API, I do manage to get the expected events for the date ranges. I don't know what's up with the Objective-C API but putting together the URLs isn't a problem. I'm going to have to take it back to the Objective C Google data API group though-- because while this approach gives me the list of events for a particular day, the event objects (GDataEntryCalendarEvent objects in that API) don't know what time they start or end at. I'm confident that I know how to get those times, because I can get them when I've used authenticated access, but my hand-made URLs return events that seem to know little more than their title. Thanks Ray, this has been a big help. On Apr 13, 7:19 pm, Ray Baxter <[email protected]> wrote: > The documents are imprecise.
