I am trying to build a calendar for my site, which users can use to connect and fetch/subscribe to all the various accounts a user has. I do not wish to get any other information regarding his contacts, etc.
Is there any API available which allows me to import or subscribe to an Exchange server to get just the Calendar of the user?
As yet I have have able to find these 2 resources, but they do not provide a good description of how and what is to be done for web site and DB integration:
For Google Calendar API:
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/
For Outlook Exchange API:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/office/jj190901%28exchg.150%29
The Outlook Exchange API you pointed to above (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/office/jj190901%28exchg.150%29) is what we call Mail apps - and they are always hosted in Outlook, so that's not the right technology for publishing to a website. You can get access to a user's calendar programmatically by using Exchange Web Services (EWS), which is SOAP based, or the EWS Managed API, which is a managed wrapper for EWS. More information about EWS vs EWS Managed API is provided here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa579177(v=exchg.150).aspx. Specific information about accessing an Exchange Calendar using EWS or the EWS Managed API is provided in this topic and its subtopics: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn495623(v=exchg.150).aspx. This info does not provide information about website integration though - it's specific to the calendaring API functionality.

I want to be able to make some basic Google Calendar integrations using the respective calendar API. Is there a way to achieve this (from a javascript side or from an ASP.NET or Node.js side) WITHOUT having the front-end user confirm on the acknowledgement screen (part of OAuth 2.0) auth process?
PS - I'm trying to provide the best user experience for my customers using my web app (ASP.NET React JS app). I have multiple services (e.g. Google Calendar, DropBox, and another 3rd party email provider) which I'm trying to tie altogether into a seamless UX.
Thanks.
I have built a salesforce App using API integration, but the API functionality is limited Enterprise and Unlimited editions or Professional only with an add-on. However, I have clients on Professional that have other apps that share data without API service on their domain (for instance zoominfo and HubSpot). How is this possible? Is there any way to integrate data with an external service skipping the API so it is accessible to more users?
This app takes data captured on another website and adds leads, contacts and actives into Salesforce (currently using the REST API).
Thanks!
Is there any way to fetch and load RingCentral data in our database? Can we use REST API or it can be integrated directly?
I'm trying to retrieve reporting data.
How exactly can I get access token, is it generated by RingCentral?
What reporting data are you trying to sync?
General REST API Info
The RingCentral REST API can be used to retrieve and load data into your own database or any other system. There is also an event system that supports webhooks and client-based PubNub subscriptions.
Learn more about the REST API here:
https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference
In addition to using the REST API directly, a variety of SDKs are available here:
https://developers.ringcentral.com/guide/sdks
Reporting Data API
Can you be more specific on what kind of reporting data you are interested in?
It is popular to sync the Call Log CDR (Call Details Record) data to databases. Read more on the Call Log APIs here:
https://developers.ringcentral.com/guide/voice/call-log/reading-call-log
Getting an Access Token for the API
Regarding authentication to get an access token to use the API, RingCentral supports OAuth 2.0. See the following Developer Guide page on Authentication which covers the various OAuth 2.0 grant type approaches that are supported, including
Authorization Code Flow (3-legged flow)
Password Flow
Implicit Grant Flow
PKCE is also supported with the Authorization Code Flow.
https://developers.ringcentral.com/guide/authentication
Direct Integration
Direct integration is available via various pre-integrated connectors.
See the RingCentral App Gallery to see various apps that have been integrated like Salesforce, HubSpot and others.

I have integrated my application with Google apps marketplace with old version of OpenID and getting the data from Google calendar by using Google calendar version 2 API. Now I need to integrate every thing to new version. I have confused a little bit as Google is providing various authentication and authorization process. I looked in to OpenID connect, JWT (JSON Web Token), Google calendar version 3 service account. May any one please help me out from this issue like that should I use to authenticate as well as for authorization. Thanks in advance.
https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2 gives a good overview on various ways to authenticate with Google APIs and when to use them. For instance JWT is useful when your application uses Google APIs to store/retrieve its own data i.e. not to access data of your application's user.

I never used Google technologies to develop webapps before, and I'm a bit overloaded and confused. A lot of information.
My scenario: Developing a webapp for, say, company.com, using Google App Engine (Python, Webapp2, Jinja2...). The domain company.com is Google hosted (e-mail and calendars are the important parts here). So, I want my GAE-based app to add events to the domain users' calendar, send them e-mails, etc. The basic flow is:
A user of this domain logs into the web app, using his/her mail: myname#company.com. (IMPORTANT: Users CAN'T use their private GMail accounts, or any other OpenID-based authentication. Just their domain accounts). I know this can be configurated from the admin console, when creating the app.
The user fills a form, and a new calendar event is created. This event is added to his/her calendar, and to his/her manager's calendar too. The user receives a confirmation e-mail (event created) and the manager a notification e-mail (someone invited you...).
I've been reading a lot about authentication, authorization, google app engine and google apps, but I still don't have a clear image about what technologies/libraries/apis I should use.
I've seen a lot of examples using oAuth and Calendar API v2, but oAuth is deprecated, and seems that I should use oAuth2. Calendar API v2 is deprecated too, and v3 is recommended... I see a lot of entry points in the documentation, and I don't know where to start.
Any piece of advice is strongly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
