Google Apps Script: How to share calendar with another user? - google-apps-script

I am trying to share google calendars of a user in domain with another user in other domain using google apps script and OAuth authorization. But i am not able to perform this task. I fetched all the calendars events of user but couldn't do the sharing.
Any solution would be appreciated.
Thank You
Solution of this problem is here:
function calenderSharing(user1,user2){
var scope = 'https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/';
var fetchArgs = googleOAuth_('calenders', scope);
var rawXml= "<entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' xmlns:gAcl='http://schemas.google.com/acl/2007'>"+
"<category scheme='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind' term='http://schemas.google.com/acl/2007#accessRule'/>"+
"<gAcl:scope type='user' value='"+user2+"'></gAcl:scope>"+
"<gAcl:role value='http://schemas.google.com/gCal/2005#owner'> </gAcl:role></entry>"
fetchArgs.method = 'POST';
fetchArgs.payload = rawXml
fetchArgs.contentType = 'application/atom+xml';
try{
var url='https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/'+user1+'/acl/full'
var urlFetch=UrlFetchApp.fetch(url,fetchArgs) //Giving Permission To personal account as a owner
}
catch(err){
var err1=err.toString()
var ex='Exception: Request failed for returned code 302'
if(ex==err1.split('.')[0]){
var tempCalenderUrl=[]
tempCalenderUrl.id = err1.split('<A HREF="')[1];
tempCalenderUrl.id = tempCalenderUrl.id.split('"')[0];
var url=tempCalenderUrl.id
try{
var urlFetch=UrlFetchApp.fetch(url,fetchArgs)
}
catch(err){}
}
}
}
function googleOAuth_(name,scope) {
var oAuthConfig = UrlFetchApp.addOAuthService(name);
oAuthConfig.setRequestTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken?scope="+scope);
oAuthConfig.setAuthorizationUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken");
oAuthConfig.setAccessTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken");
oAuthConfig.setConsumerKey(consumerKey);
oAuthConfig.setConsumerSecret(consumerSecret);
return {oAuthServiceName:name, oAuthUseToken:"always"};
}

In Google Script you can't. The Calendar Script API does not support sharing of calendars (at this time).
Your workaround might be to get the calendar ID using script and using UrlFetch (with OAuth) to call the Google Calendar API https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/. Ensure you authenticate, perform a 'get' to get the calendar based on the ID you retrieved from your script, get the ACL and add a new entry to share with the user outside your domain.
Not an easy solution. Sorry.

Why don't you make an App that would allow this user to simply subscribe to this new calendar instead?
All the necessary tools are in the gas calendar service-
Here is an example of such an application

Creating a group with Admin SDK Directory API in Google Apps Script doesn't work "On form submit"

I've read through all of the relevant pages in the Admin ADK Directory API documentation and several questions on stackoverflow, and I'm still stuck.
I am the super admin of my Google Apps domain, and I want users in my domain to be able to create their own Google Groups. I made a Google Form where the user specifies the name and email of the group. Then the Google Form Responses sheet has an "On form submit" trigger that invokes my code to create the group.
This code works when I run createGroupTest() from the Script Editor. It creates the group in my Google apps domain immediately.
This code does not work when the "On form submit" trigger runs the onFormSubmit(e) function. I get the email from the catch(e) saying Exception: Failed to authenticate for service: Groups.
Does anyone know what is causing the oauth authentication to work from within the Script Editor but not when invoked by the onFormSubmit function?
function onFormSubmitTest() {
var t = new Date();
t = t.getTime();
onFormSubmit([t, "AAA Test Group " + t], ["aaa.testgroup." + t + "#mydomain.com"], ["me#mydomain.com"]);
}
var consumerKey = "mydomain.com";
var consumerSecret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
var domainName = "mydomain.com";
function onFormSubmit(e) {
var timestamp = e.values[0];
var groupName = e.values[1];
var groupEmail = e.values[2];
var owner = e.values[3];
owner = owner.split("#")[0];
var description = 'test';
var requestBody = {email: groupEmail, name: groupName, description: description};
var scope = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.group";
var fetchArgs = googleOAuth_("Groups", scope);
fetchArgs.method = "POST";
fetchArgs.contentType = "application/json";
fetchArgs.payload = JSON.stringify(requestBody);
fetchArgs.muteHttpExceptions = true;
var url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/admin/directory/v1/groups?key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, fetchArgs);
}
function googleOAuth_(name,scope) {
var oAuthConfig = UrlFetchApp.addOAuthService(name)
oAuthConfig.setRequestTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken?scope="+scope);
oAuthConfig.setAuthorizationUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken");
oAuthConfig.setAccessTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken");
oAuthConfig.setConsumerKey(consumerKey);
oAuthConfig.setConsumerSecret(consumerSecret);
return {oAuthServiceName:name, oAuthUseToken:'always'};
}
I figured it out: I had failed to include the domain extension in the groupEmail string (because my Google Form only asks the user to fill in the group email name without the domain extension).

Authorizing Google Apps Script to access Drive files

The code below works fine for getting my own Google+ user attributes:
// Google oAuth
function getAuth(service, scopes) {
var oAuthConfig = UrlFetchApp.addOAuthService(service);
oAuthConfig.setRequestTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken? scope="+scopes);
oAuthConfig.setAuthorizationUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken");
oAuthConfig.setAccessTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken");
oAuthConfig.setConsumerKey("anonymous");
oAuthConfig.setConsumerSecret("anonymous");
return {oAuthServiceName:service, oAuthUseToken:"always"};
}
function test_API_Key() {
var gPlusAuth = getAuth("plus", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me");
var url = "https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/me?key=" + API_KEY;
var httpResponse = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, gPlusAuth);
Logger.log(httpResponse);
}
When I use the same approach for accessing metadata about files on my Google Drive, I run into the HTTP error, 403, and "access not configured." Below is the code. What am I doing wrong?
function getFileMetaData(fileId) {
var driveAuth = getAuth("drive", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive");
var url = "https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files/" +
documentID + "?key=" + API_KEY;
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, driveAuth);
Logger.log(response);
}
Taken from google developer site[1]
At a high-level, all apps follow the same basic authorization pattern:
Register the application in the Google Developers Console.
Request that the user grant access to data in their Google account.
If the user consents, your application requests and receives credentials to access the Drive API.
Refresh the credentials (if necessary).
<script type="text/javascript">
var CLIENT_ID = '<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>';
var SCOPES = [
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile',
// Add other scopes needed by your application.
];

Google Appscript approvals for public document

I have a google spreadsheet that is shared with all members on our domain. I'd like to have a script which will send the spreadsheet as an email attachment whenever one of the users runs the script.
Following this question as a guide, I arrived at the following code:
function sendEmail() {
var ssID = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getId();
var sheetName = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getName();
//var email = Session.getUser().getEmail();
var email = "xxxxx#example.com";
var subject = "Order Form";
var body = "Please find the attached Order Form for drop-ship delivery.";
var oauthConfig = UrlFetchApp.addOAuthService("google");
oauthConfig.setAccessTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken");
oauthConfig.setRequestTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken?scope=https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/");
oauthConfig.setAuthorizationUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken");
oauthConfig.setConsumerKey("anonymous");
oauthConfig.setConsumerSecret("anonymous");
var requestData = {"method": "GET", "oAuthServiceName": "google", "oAuthUseToken": "always"};
var url = "https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/download/spreadsheets/Export?key="
+ ssID + "&gid=0&portrait=true" +"&exportFormat=xls";
var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url , requestData);
var contents = result.getContent();
MailApp.sendEmail(email,subject ,body, {attachments:[{fileName:sheetName+".xls", content:contents, mimeType:"application//xls"}]});
}
This code works, but only if I run the code from the script editor first (which involves authorizing access to the google mail account), and then authorizing the script when using the script.
So, I passed along the document to the order department, and again, it only works when EACH USER authorizes the script from the script editor, and then authorizes the script when using it.
Is there a way to eliminate the "authorizing by way of the script editor"? I'd really not like to have to go into each users account to authorize this script for them (as well as have to remember to do the same for any new user created)?
I appreciate any help offered!
Unfortunately NOT. see also my question and the answer by one of the google developer advocates.

Retrieve photo from Google Apps Profile API

I am trying to retrieve Google Apps Profile API photo using Google Apps Profile API but It keeps on prompting to authorize the request even after authorizing it.
Here is the code which I have tried so far.
function getPhoto(userName){
userName = 'user#myDomain.com'; //will be replaced by actual username
var scope = 'https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/profiles';
var fetchArgs = googleOAuth_('Profile', scope);
fetchArgs.method = 'GET';
var domain = UserManager.getDomain();
var url = 'https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/photos/profile/'+domain+'/'+userName+'?v=3';
var rawData = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, fetchArgs).getContentText();
Logger.log(rawData);
}
//google oAuth
function googleOAuth_(name,scope) {
var oAuthConfig = UrlFetchApp.addOAuthService(name);
oAuthConfig.setRequestTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken?scope="+scope);
oAuthConfig.setAuthorizationUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken");
oAuthConfig.setAccessTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken");
oAuthConfig.setConsumerKey("anonymous");
oAuthConfig.setConsumerSecret("anonymous");
return {oAuthServiceName:name, oAuthUseToken:"always"};
}

You could try with
var scope = 'https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/';
to authorize.
You can take a look at this Library. It lets you get the profile picture as a blob without any issue:

How to add a Google Drive folder to "My Drive" section to other users

I have a Google Drive herarchichal folder and subfolders structure owned by me and I want to add it to the "My Drive" section in all users in our Google Apps for Business domain automatically.
How can I do this? I heard about Google Apps Script and AddToFolder function.
Please, can you help me?
Thanks in advance.
This is very easy to do if each user could just access a link and authorize a script (that you build) to do the job for them (place a shared folder in their root folder).
But if it's a lot of users, you are the admin of the domain, and you really want to do it all automatically without anyone doing a thing, it is possible but probably very difficult to do. I mean, you need to access the Drive API directly and set oAuth 2.0 to impersonate your users, because the Apps Script built-in DocsList API does not have this impersonation feature. If you're really going for it, take a look at this other question.
First, set up a simple web app. The Google App Script editor even has a template that gets you most of the way there.
Second, implement something like the following and call it from the handler function.
function addRequiredFolders() {
var root = DocsList.getRootFolder();
var folderIds = ["somefolderid", "anotherfolderid"];
folderIds.map( function(id) { DocsList.getFolderById(id).addToFolder(root) } );
}
I've tested a variant of this up to this point. The next step is to publish the Web App for your domain, and email it out to people or otherwise distribute it. I assume they will have the unpleasant step of needing to grant the web app permission to access their documents.
Right now I've implemented this feature using "Google Documents List API". I know that this API is deprecated but for now it works.
(the code is not finished)
(...)
//var user = Session.getActiveUser().getUserLoginId() OR
var user = e.parameter.user_email
var TB_folder = e.parameter.TB_folder
var TB_sub_folder = e.parameter.TB_sub_folder
var base = 'https://docs.google.com/feeds/';
var fetchArgs = googleOAuth_('docs', base);
fetchArgs.method = 'POST';
var rawXml = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>" + "<entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'>"
+ "<category scheme='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind' "
+ "term='http://schemas.google.com/docs/2007#folder'/>"
+ "<title>" + TB_folder +"</title>"
+ "</entry>";
fetchArgs.payload = rawXml;
fetchArgs.contentType = 'application/atom+xml';
fetchArgs.contentLength = 245;
// POST a https://docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full
var url = base + user + '/private/full/?v=3&alt=json';
var content = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, fetchArgs).getContentText()
var json = Utilities.jsonParse(content)
var folder = json.entry.gd$resourceId.$t // -> I get "folder:folder_id"
var id_folder = folder.split(':')[1]
var folder_created_by = json.entry.gd$lastModifiedBy.email.$t
var folder_owner = json.entry.author['0'].email.$t
(...)
Now, you have the folder ID and can use it to create another subfolder or a file...
You need this function :
//Google oAuth
function googleOAuth_(name,scope) {
var oAuthConfig = UrlFetchApp.addOAuthService(name);
oAuthConfig.setRequestTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken?scope="+scope);
oAuthConfig.setAuthorizationUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken");
oAuthConfig.setAccessTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken");
oAuthConfig.setConsumerKey("XXXXXXXX");
oAuthConfig.setConsumerSecret("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");
//oAuthConfig.setConsumerKey("anonymous");
//oAuthConfig.setConsumerSecret("anonymous");
return {oAuthServiceName:name, oAuthUseToken:"always"};
}
You can create a file or add a user to a file (add a wriker).
Now I want to implement this functionality with " Drive API " . If someone has done it would be nice to get some help.
