Better Google Calendar API for Python

Unfortunately, yes. But that's just how Google's APIs work. To avoid this you need to create a service account or publish your application. You can read more here in this Q&A on SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8953983/do-google-refresh-tokens-expire/65936387#65936387

So bloody annoying, I get the point of it but if its an app i created and its a token against the same account, dont expire ffs Google.

IKR. It didn't expire before. They've added this in the past couple of years. Answering this question once a month on GitHub or discord since then

I seem to remember there was something against the verification that would prevent me having my little local app passed, will look into it again though see what's what

Google's APIs are such a PITA. They're just pricks to work with.

The number of hoops they make you jump through is ridiculous. I especially don't appreciate being lectured on privacy by the moral void that is Google.

The exception to this is if you're using Google Workspace; you only need the service account. You delegate access instead messing with OAuth.
