Create event in Google Calendar with Delphi - Error 401

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23353471

Question

My program has to connect to Google Calendar and create an event but I am receiving an error with text "Token invalid - AuthSub token has wrong scope"

The URL is http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/default/owncalendars/full

This is my code:

Begin
  createXML := '<?xml version=''1.0'' encoding=''UTF-8''?>'#13#10 +
                  '<entry xmlns=''http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'''#13#10 +
                  'xmlns:gd=''http://schemas.google.com/g/2005''>'#13#10 +
                  '<category scheme=''http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind'''#13#10 +
                  'term=''http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event''></category>'#13#10 +
                  '<title type=''text''>' + title + '</title>'#13#10 +
                  '<content type=''text''>' + content + '</content>'#13#10 +
                  '<gd:transparency'#13#10 +
                  'value=''http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event.opaque''>'#13#10 +
                  '</gd:transparency>'#13#10 +
                  '<gd:eventStatus'#13#10 +
                  'value=''http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event.confirmed''>'#13#10 +
                  '</gd:eventStatus>'#13#10 +
                  '<gd:where valueString=''' + location + '''></gd:where>'#13#10 +
                  '<gd:when startTime=''' + EventStartTime + ''''#13#10 +
                  'endTime=''' + EventEndTime + '''></gd:when>'#13#10 +
                  '</entry>';

  HTTP:=THTTPSend.Create;
  url:=Edit3.Text;
  WriteStrToStream(HTTP.Document,EncodeURL(createXML));
  HTTP.Headers.Add('Authorization: OAuth '+OAuth.Access_token);
  HTTP.Headers.Add('GData-Version: 2');
  HTTP.MimeType:=('application/atom+xml');
  if HTTP.HTTPMethod('POST',url) then
  XML:=HTTP.Document;
  Memo2.Lines.LoadFromStream(XML);
End;

This is my code for OAuth Connection...

 Const
    client_id=%s&client_secret=%s&code=%s&redirect_uri=%s&grant_type=authorization_‌​‌​code'; 

.....

        procedure TForm2.Button4Click(Sender: TObject); var HTTP:THTTPSend; 
        begin HTTP:=THTTPSend.Create; 
        try 
        HTTP.Headers.Add('Authorization: OAuth '+OAuth.Access_token); 
        HTTP.Headers.Add('GData-Version: 2'); 
        if       HTTP.HTTPMethod('GET','google.com:443/calendar/feeds/default/allcalendars/full') then 
        XML:=HTTP.Document; 
        End;

Thank you very much for your time.

Solution

Here you can read the protocol including what Authorization headers does it need. Even with the code you added it's still unclear how the OAuth object is built.

However, I don't recommend you to continue using the GData API as it's being deprecated. Consider using the JSON-based v3 version along with the new authentication method. The API specification and usage is also new, so you will need to invest some time.
