What did I do wrong with this API call? (create an event in Google Calendar)

[salemmo409]

I mad this call to create event in Google Calendar that contain a Google Meet link, but I still not able to figure out where is the mistake I made

Body:

{
  "start": {
    "dateTime": <StartDateTime>,
    "timeZone": <timeZone>
  },
        
  "end": {
    "dateTime": <EndDateTime>,
    "timeZone": <timeZone>
  }, 
        
  "attendees": [
    {
      "email": <AttendeeEmail>,
      "responseStatus": <AttendeeResponseStatus>
    }
  ],
        
  "conferenceData": {
    "createRequest": {
      "requestId": <ConferenceRequestId>,
      "conferenceSolutionKey": {
        "type": <ConferenceType>
      }
      }
    }
}

What’s the mistake?

I get this when I initialize:

The first thing is there a lot of double quotes missing around values (probably all of them). Also, do you have content type header

This video helped me alot

I putted < > instead of " " in the pody so I can insert the value in the input instead of the body.
Also I don’t have content type header since json is what google expect to send.

I used oauth2 user-agent flow authntication method which is better than his way in setting the API. However, I’ve watched his other videos about calls but couldn’t figure out where I went wrong with this call

[Jici]

Yes, but by default Bubble, even if you select JSON, will not include this header. You need to include Content-type header with value to application/json
You need to keep <> to have dynamic field, but the value need to be surrounded by double quotes.
you can add them to the body or to the value, it’s doesn’t matter

[Jici]

Actually, the error you get is not related to auth, but to payload. 400 error is a bad request. If you get 401 error, this will be related to auth or scopes.

[salemmo409]

I have surrounded the value by double quotes and now it work, thank you very much, and it worked without including Content-type in the header.

[williamtisdale]

Can you share me how you found to use or how to set up the oauth2 user-agent flow?

[salemmo409]

The channel that you shared one of its videos contains a video that deals with this method, but it is not sufficiently clear. I also found a video of Bubble that deals with this method in a better amount of detail:

However, I struggled until I was able to set the correct settings for Google Calendar, and these are the settings that work now for me:
