Google Calendar

AutoTimeTracker can pull your events from google calendar and include that information in the time tracker entry. To enable the google calendar integration you have to follow these steps:

Go https://developers.google.com/calendar/quickstart/python and click on the ENABLE GOOGLE CALENDAR API entry.
Download the credentials.json file and store it in your machine.
Add an entry in the config.json pointing to the downloaded credentials file:

  ...
  "calendar": {
    "credentials_file": "my/credentials/file/path.json"
  }
  ...

Enable the google calendar API for your project. To to this you need to access the following link https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/calendar-json.googleapis.com/overview?project=[projectID] replacing projectID with the ID of the project you created in step 1. If you are not sure what the id of your project is please examine the credentials.json file you downloaded in step 2 and look for the client_id property, the format of the property is <projectId>-<extraData>.
While running the application for the first time a web browser will be opened with an account selector. Select the account you want to use and grant read-only permissions to your calendar.
