print_google_calendar_availability

Python script which prints out a summary of your free slots from your Google calendar(s) so you can paste into a scheduling email. Contact Emma Pierson ([email protected]) with any questions.

Setup

1. Clone this repo.

2. Install the packages you need: pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib

3. Get Google credentials. You want to create credentials for a desktop application, as described in this link - click on "Desktop app".

4. Change the constants at the top of the script.

Usage

Two usages:

Print availabilities on specific dates: python print_availability.py 2022-03-05 2022-03-12

Just print out availability for next three weeks: python print_availability.py

I added lines to my .bashrc to alias both these functions so I don't have to cd to the directory:

alias print_availability='python /Users/emmapierson/Desktop/print_google_calendar_availability/print_availability.py'print_availability_with_dates() {python /Users/emmapierson/Desktop/print_google_calendar_availability/print_availability.py "$1" "$2"}

so I can just run print_availability_with_dates 2022-06-29 2022-06-30 and print_availability from the command line.

Disclaimer

This seems to work fine for the 4 weeks of my own calendar I tested it on, but open a GitHub issue if you find any bugs and don't get mad if you miss an important meeting :)
