opencalmeeting

A small utility for opening the Zoom meeting on your current- or next-scheduled calendar event.

Based on example code from Google here.

In order to use this, you need to:

1. Set up a project with OAuth credentials for a desktop app as described here.
2. Enable the Google Calendar API for it.
3. Add yourself (the user whose calendar you wish to access) as a test user (or make the project public and go through the process of verifying it - I haven't done that so I don't know what that entails).
4. Follow the instructions on the above link under "OAuth client ID credentials" (make sure to select the "Desktop app" tab in there) to create and download the "credentials.json" file this program needs.
5. Run the program. The first time you do, a browser window should open asking you to give the program access to your calendar. After that your user token will be saved in a file so you will no longer need to go through that process.

Note about Operating System Support

This was written for Linux (Ubuntu), but in order to support other operating systems you only need to replace the contents of the os.system() calls in the open_link(), show_error() and show_notification() functions to the equivalent commands for your system.

For example, on a Mac, in order to open the meeting itself in open_link(), instead of the current code:

os.system(f"xdg-open \"{url}\"")

you should change it to:

os.system(f"open \"{url}\"")

(Based on this.)

Might be a good idea to add automatic detection of the OS. Haven't done that.
