Hello all,

I am still working with calendars. I found this post from 2020 about the gcalcli and using it to access google calendar to display events on Linux desktop with conky.

I installed gcalcli and when I tried the command in terminal it opened my browser to a google auth page and when I selected the account I wanted to associate with gcalcli I get an application blocked error page. Evidently this was common and I found a fix-it page:

https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli/issues/580

I went thru all 5 steps but now when I use the list command in terminal no webpage opens.

When I tried the I got a usage error message.

Can anyone help me get this working so I can try to get conky to display the information?

Notice this post is old but may help someone.
Tried this a few years ago had to output to a file..
I decided to looking again at conky been a while.
${execpi 3600 gcalendar --output json | jq . > ~/.conky/.../file.txt}

Thank you I will give this a try.
