I'm confused about using the Google Calendar API for adding/modifying events in ASP.NET webforms (C#).

I'm not sure if I need oAuth or what. My app is on my own server accessing my own domain and my own calendar. I don't need other users to give me access to their calendar; I only need to access my own via my app.

On on one of my aspx pages, I'd like to send event info to my Google calendar to add (or later modify) the event.

I've checked all kinds of code examples and the Google getting started guides. I'm just not clear on what exactly is needed. I've set up an API key and an oAuth2 client ID. The Google instructions have sent me in circles and it's likely due to my needing clarification on what's need.

Can someone please clear-up my confusion and point me in the right direction?

Summary :

To Call a google clould oauth2 protected resource
From your server to google server
Without user interaction
Accessing your own data
Using C#

Code :

    var private_key = @"-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-ccc-END PRIVATE KEY-----\n";
    string calendarId = @"xxxxxxxxxxxxx@group.calendar.google.com";
    var client_email = @"my-google-calender@xxx.iam.gserviceaccount.com";

    var credential =
        new ServiceAccountCredential(
        new ServiceAccountCredential.Initializer(client_email)
        {
            Scopes = new string[] { CalendarService.Scope.Calendar }
        }.FromPrivateKey(private_key));
    var service = new CalendarService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
    {
        HttpClientInitializer = credential,
    });

Use service methods to get the data
Private Key and client_email can be generated from this link
Calendar Id can be found on calendar.google.com
You must share your calendar with client_email see the demo

                    }
                }
             };
    }
}

Step 22: replace json File Name with your json file name

  string jsonFile = "xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx.json";

Step 23: replace calendarId with your calendarId from step 14

 string calendarId = @"xxxxxxxxxxxxx@group.calendar.google.com";

Step 24: run the app

Step 25 : visit you calendar you should see the event in
