The Calendar team was the first to launch its Google Data API back in 2006, and in that proud tradition, we're excited to offer an additional way for developers to read from, and write to Google Calendar: the CalDAV protocol. (CalDAV — an extension of WebDAV — is an evolving, open standard for calendar synchronization.)

So far we've focused on Apple's iCal 3.0 as a first working example of 2-way Google Calendar sync over CalDAV.* But we're calling all current and prospective CalDAV developers to help us firm up the implementation, and make it play nice with other popular CalDAV-friendly clients.

For information on how Google Calendar data maps to the CalDAV protocol, please check out our CalDAV developer's guide. And of course, don't hesitate to hurl feedback in the general direction of our Google Group.

* Disclaimer: during this developer-focused release, and in light of known issues, we strongly suggest that you restrict Google Calendar <> iCal 3.0 synchronization to test accounts only.2013, By: Seo Master

In March we announced that CalDAV, an open standard for accessing calendar data across the web, would become a partner-only API because it appeared that almost all the API usage was driven by a few large developers. Since that announcement, we received many requests for access to CalDAV, giving us a better understanding of developers’ use cases and causing us to revisit that decision. In response to those requests, we are keeping the CalDAV API public. And in the spirit of openness, today we’re also making CardDAV – an open standard for accessing contact information across the web – available to everyone for the first time.

Both of these APIs are getting other updates as well:

• Integration with the Google APIs Console. To start using CalDAV or CardDAV in your project, just enable it in the Console.
• OAuth 2.0 authentication.

In addition, the CalDAV API now has a new endpoint:
