Question: Can we skip the part where user has to authenticate with his gmail?

you have to use a server-side API token in your google developers console, which uses public key cryptography. That's outside the scope of this package, but can be done. This just needs the access token that google returns after successful auth

Hi,
Can the server-side API token be used directly as access token?
var google_calendar = new gcal.GoogleCalendar(accessToken);
I've been using it for 6 month and I'm hitting API quota limits probably because every request is done using a single user's access/refresh tokens...

Thanks

FYI It works using this https://github.com/extrabacon/google-oauth-jwt#requesting-the-token-manually
service account token.

Sorry for my slow response. Yes, you need service account.

The google-oauth-jwt looks good too.
