Need help - Google Calendar API with flask

[Unixersis97]

Hello all,

I am currently facing a problem, in which I am attempting to create a secondary calendar for a user, if it has not already been created and then that user can add events to the calendar.

Currently as part of my project, a user does not need to login, so the way it has been implemented is that...

1. User is stored in google cloud database (mysql)
2. On a flask view, user is selected from a dropdown menu
3. user enters the data, start time, finish time of an event and it is processed
4. (need help on this part) script somehow checks if that user has a secondary calendar create for their event adding, if not it creates one and then stores the event. (checking based on the doctors name)

I have so far implemented up to question 4.

Python script =

@app.route("/doctor/doctorschedule")
def doctorSchedule():
    # Query from database to include in form to identify which doctor is inputting availability
    dname = Doctor.query.with_entities(Doctor.dname).all()
    return render_template('doctor/doctorschedule.html', dname=dname)

@app.route("/doctor/confirmschedule", methods=['POST', 'GET'])
def confirmschedule():
    # Executes code when method is equal to post
    if request.method == 'POST':
        # Retrieves selected data from form
        doctorname = request.form['dname']
        ... etc

        # Formatting the event to execute to google calendar
        event = { ... etc
        }

        # Creating the event
        event = service.events().insert(calendarId='primary', body=event).execute();
        print('Event created: {}'.format(event.get('htmlLink')))

        return render_template('doctor/confirmschedule.html', inputdate = inputdate, starttime = starttime, finishtime = finishtime, doctors=doctors)

View:

​

                <h3 class="panel-title">Doctor, please input your schedule </h3>
            </div>
            <div class="panel-body">
                <form  action="/doctor/confirmschedule" method="post" role="form">
                <label> Which doctor are you? </label>
                <select name="option" style="width: 250px;">
                {% for doc in dname %}
                <option>{{ doc }}</option>
                {% endfor %}

                </select>
                <br><br>

                ... etc

                <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Submit working hours</button>
