Grabs appointment data from a user's Google Calendar, and then displays the busy times within a specified time range, for each of the dates within a specified date range

How to use

1. Submit a specified time range, and then a specified date range
2. You will be redirected to a google authorization page to log in
3. Once authorized, select the calendars from which you want to extract busy times
4. Submit, and the busy times from those calendars within the time and date range will be displayed

How to set up the server

You will need a Google API key, and set it up to allow the redirect URI

http://my_server_ip:my_port/oauth2callback

1. Copy the credentials-skel file to the meetings folder

cp credentials-skil.ini meetings/credentials.ini

2. Download the Google client secrets file from the Google API, and reference the path from the credentials.ini file. Also set up any configuration variables as you see fit in the credentials.ini file

3. Run

make install
make run

What are the busy times returned?
