Accessing the Google Base data API using ColdFusion

The ColdFusion CalendarMeIn example lets users search for local events and add them to their Google Calendar. To do this, it queries for events stored in Google Base, and filters the results through Google Maps to identify those that are geographically close to a user-specified location. Once a user finds an event they want to attend, they can add the event to their Google Calendar.

This application demonstrates how to query Google Base using ColdFusion.

Using the CalendarMeIn application

You can run this program from its online location.

Alternately, you can download the source code and host it on your own web server. Note that this application is a web application and is not intended to be run from the command line. If you host this application on your own web server, replace the key value on lines 104 and 269 with a valid API Key tied to your domain.

When you first use the CalendarMeIn application, you will have to log in to your Google Account and grant the script permission to access your Google Base entries.
