No items retrieved

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

events = service.events().list(calendarId=idCal).execute()

while True:
for event in events['items']:
  print event['summary']
  page_token = events.get('nextPageToken')
  if page_token:
    events = service.events().list(calendarId=idCal, pageToken=page_token).execute()
  else:
    break

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Getting all items (events) from the idCal calendary.
No items retrieved.

(The idCal calendary have at least 10 events...)

The code for getting all the items should be:

  service = build("calendar", "v3", http=http)

  events = service.events()
  request = events.list(calendarId='primary')

  while (request != None):
    response = request.execute(http)

    for e in response['items']:
      print e.get('summary', '')

    request = events.list_next(request, response)

Will mark as Fixed for now. Re-open if you are still having problems.

Still having the problem. Here is the exception error message :
******************************
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "GoogleCal.py", line 326, in <module>
    main()
  File "GoogleCal.py", line 304, in main
    for e in response['items']:
KeyError: 'items'

I used your code, and replace 'primary' by a secondary calendar ID (and i'm 
pretty sure of the ID, got in Gcal settings).

And I can't explain the error, the secondary cal is full of items...

Use the calendarList().list() to get the list of calendars and their associated 
ids:

That's what I do.

Here is my code :

#getting all calendars
calendar_list = service.calendarList().list().execute()

#getting the right calendar ID from calendarName
while True:
        for calendar_list_entry in calendar_list['items']:
            summary = calendar_list_entry['summary']
            id = calendar_list_entry['id']
            if summary == calendarName:
                idCalendar = id
                break
        page_token = calendar_list.get('nextPageToken')
        if not page_token:
            break

# Getting all events from this calendar ID
    events = service.events()
    request = events.list(calendarId=idCalendar)
    while (request != None):
        response = request.execute(http)
        for e in response['items']:
            print e.get('summary', '')
        request = events.list_next(request, response)

And same old error...

Here is a quick and dirty sample that I wrote that lists 3 items from every 
calendar in my calendar list.

  http://codereview.appspot.com/5642058/

Note that there is a check for no 'items' in the response, which will happen if 
you don't have permissions to list the events in a calendar. That actually 
happens for me when it gets to the Google Doodles calendar:

{'accessRole': 'reader',
 'description': '',
 'etag': '"0fiVPdkp7hkeMUTcCsWdW66wVVc/M0i94UPrRxmG73b08eohQVflQis"',
 'kind': 'calendar#events',
 'summary': 'Google Doodles',
 'timeZone': 'America/New_York',
 'updated': '2012-02-08T11:51:44.000Z'}

Here what i get with your script :

{u'accessRole': u'owner',
 u'etag': u'"XXXXX"',
 u'kind': u'calendar#events',
 u'nextPageToken': u'XXXXX',
 u'summary': u'TEST',
 u'timeZone': u'Europe/Paris',
 u'updated': u'2012-02-07T20:06:41.000Z'}

No items listed while it's full of items (over 30...)

BTW I can add items as many as I want to this calendar

Weird...

So this looks like the Python client is working fine and may be an issue with 
permissions in Calendar. You can ask about that on the Calendar API forum:

Thanks.

Too bad that they don't seem very reactive on the API forum.

I am getting the same error - KeyError
I did find that start and end, which are dictionaries work, but the unicode 
string generates the error consistently.

Start =  {u'dateTime': u'2010-11-11T12:16:24-08:00'}
 End =  {u'dateTime': u'2010-11-11T13:16:24-08:00'}
Text =  New title for single event
Start =  {u'dateTime': u'2010-11-11T12:16:28-08:00'}
 End =  {u'dateTime': u'2010-11-11T12:16:28-08:00'}

Found work around using get function:

myText = event.get(u'summary') # WORKS
print 'Text = ',myText
