Communicating with the Google Calendar API using REST

Question

I’m using Scribe to authenticate with the API of Google Calendar. Authentication with Google is successfully done by returning the accessToken hassle-free. When I try to add one CalendarList, through the following code:

OAuthRequest request = new OAuthRequest(Verb.POST, "https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/users/me/calendarList");
        JSONObject message = new JSONObject();
        message.put("id", "Teste 1");
        request.addPayload(message.toJSONString());
        service.signRequest(accessToken, request);
        Response response = request.send();

Google returns the following error this api does not support parsing form-encoded input

How should I build the JSON request to get a response from Google?

Answer 1

public void createNewCalendarList(OAuthService service){
        Token newAccessToken = new Token( API_USER_TOKEN, API_USER_SECRET);
        OAuthRequest request = new OAuthRequest(Verb.POST, "https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars");
        JSONObject payload = new JSONObject();
        request.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json ; charset=UTF-8");
        payload.put("summary", "Meeto");
        request.addPayload(payload.toJSONString());
        service.signRequest(newAccessToken, request);
        Response response = request.send();
        System.out.println("Reposta dos tipos da google: " + response.getBody());
    }

I had to add a Content-type, and a payload with all the necessary arguments. I used as a basis examples of the following link: https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/calendars/insert
