I’m working on creating a sidebar gadget for Google Calendar and running into an issue. My goal is to build something that can identify related events based on the current event a user is viewing or editing.
The main challenge I’m facing is figuring out how to determine which specific event the user has opened. Once I can get this information, the rest of my functionality should be straightforward to implement.
I have a couple of questions:
- Is there a way through the Calendar API to access current view state information from within a sidebar gadget?
- Could I potentially extract this data by examining the page structure or DOM elements?
Any guidance would be really helpful. I’m still pretty new to developing these types of integrations.
