How to extract data from Google Calendar and show in plain text

I would like to extract the data and event name from a google calendar then show it as plain text. When ever the calendar is updated I would like the text to reflect this. It will be a pa开发者_如何学JAVArt of a web site that I am working on.

What would be a good way to go about this?

The GData apis are what you're looking for. There are APIs for .NET, PHP, and Java at least (having used all, they are all fine)[1]. I have used the Zend Framework's implementation [2] to great success making a timeclock application totaling the hours the members in our organization recorded on their Google calendars, and the .NET framework is just as good. For a website, this is the way to go.

There is also a nifty command line tool, though I have not has as much success with it (Both *nix and Windows command line, though of course you'll have much more processing power in *nix ;))

The project I mentioned for building a timeclock is available at http://code.google.com/p/gcaltimeclock/ The files you are probably most interested in are http://code.google.com/p/gcaltimeclock/source/browse/application/controllers/calendars.php and http://code.google.com/p/gcaltimeclock/source/browse/application/views/calendars/timesheets.php
