Simple R library to download Google Calendar data for yourself.

Setup

1. Go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis
2. Click on Library on the left menu
3. Then search for Google Calendar API
4. Turn on the API by going through Enable API (You may have to create a new project using the top bar on this page, after that you should be able to Enable the API).
5. Then click on Create Credentials > Select Google Calendar API or OAuth client ID > Choose Other Non-UI or Other for where you call API from
6. After that you should be able to get to a point where you get two items, (1) Client ID and (2) Client Secret. If it asks you for more then that, you have run into trouble and try again.
