Long time ago, I wrote this script: G="/usr/bin/google" U="MyEmail" O="${BACKUP}/$(basename $0)_$(/bin/date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S)" for i in contacts calendar do F="${O}.${i}.xml" "$G" -u "$U" "$i" list --title '.*' --fields xml > "${F}" gzip "${F}" done Since november 18th (18/11/2014) I get this error message on calendar: Failed to get entries: {'status': 403, 'body': '<HTML>\n<HEAD>\n<TITLE>Forbidden</TITLE>\n</HEAD>\n<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000">\n<H1>Forbidden</H1>\n<H2>Error 403</H2>\n</BODY>\n</HTML>\n', 'reason': 'Forbidden'} contacts work fine; just as good as before (I checked 3 times: contacts really does what it should: get contacts). Only cal fails; means the error is not in my password, conf corruption, or account issue. The issue is ... well ... probably on Google side changing protos. Still, we need a fix. On 17/11/14 it worked fine. It's a daily cron running at 5:17 AM, CET (Europe, Paris). I had been waiting a few days before reporting, in case there would be a fix on Google side, but apparently not. These people seem to talk about the issue: http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/issues/detail?id=567
Development has moves to https://github.com/vinitkumar/googlecl By going through the existing commits, there is one in apr-2015 where support for the new gdata is added. I don't know if this fixes OP's issue, but at least the package removal for 2016-09-21 could be (at the very least) postponed?
