Get all of the current user's calendars
function getAllCalendars() { var calendarList = Calendar.CalendarList.list(); for (var i = 0; i < calendarList.items.length; i++) { var calendar = calendarList.items[i]; console.log('%s, %s', calendar.id, calendar.description); } }

Use Calendar.Colors.get() for the full list. colorId: 11 }; calendarEvent = Calendar.Events.insert(calendarEvent, calendarId); console.log('New event with ID = %s was created.' + calendarEvent.getId()); }
