gData API - "This feed is read-only" error when adding to Google Calendar


I'm using Google Apps for my domain, and trying to enable access to the calendar on my website.

The problem is that I get This feed is read-only error every time I try to add an event to the calendar. Here's where I post to: Link (dead link)

Solution

  • You're using the basic feed, which according to the documentation is always read-only. Use a feed URL ending in private/full or private/full-noattendees instead.

    (Disclaimer: I work for Google, and as part of implementing the calendar side of Google Sync I've had some experience of working with the GData APIs, but anything I write here must be taken to be the views of a private individual rather than as official Google policy etc :)
