Google Calendar Stream

Since Camel 2.23

Only consumer is supported

The Google Calendar component provides access to Calendar via the Google Calendar Web APIs.

Google Calendar uses the OAuth 2.0 protocol for authenticating a Google account and authorizing access to user data. Before you can use this component, you will need to create an account and generate OAuth credentials. Credentials comprise of a clientId, clientSecret, and a refreshToken. A handy resource for generating a long-lived refreshToken is the OAuth playground.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

    <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
            <artifactId>camel-google-calendar</artifactId>
            <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
            <version>x.x.x</version>
    </dependency>

URI Format

The Google Calendar Component uses the following URI format:

        google-calendar-stream://index?[options]

Google Calendar stream component options

The Google Calendar Stream component supports 15 options, which are listed below.

Name	Description	Default	Type
accessToken (consumer)	OAuth 2 access token. This typically expires after an hour so refreshToken is recommended for long term usage.		String
applicationName (consumer)	Google Calendar application name. Example would be camel-google-calendar/1.0		String
bridgeErrorHandler (consumer)	Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.	false	boolean
calendarId (consumer)	The calendarId to be used	primary	String
clientId (consumer)	Client ID of the calendar application		String
clientSecret (consumer)	Client secret of the calendar application		String
considerLastUpdate (consumer)	Take into account the lastUpdate of the last event polled as start date for the next poll	false	boolean
consumeFromNow (consumer)	Consume events in the selected calendar from now on	true	boolean
maxResults (consumer)	Max results to be returned	10	int
query (consumer)	The query to execute on calendar		String
refreshToken (consumer)	OAuth 2 refresh token. Using this, the Google Calendar component can obtain a new accessToken whenever the current one expires - a necessity if the application is long-lived.		String
scopes (consumer)	Specifies the level of permissions you want a calendar application to have to a user account. See https://developers.google.com/calendar/auth for more info.		List
basicPropertyBinding (advanced)	Whether the component should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities	false	boolean
clientFactory (advanced)	The client Factory		GoogleCalendarClientFactory
configuration (advanced)	The configuration		GoogleCalendarStreamConfiguration
