Getting a "daily limit exceeded" error from the Google API client.

Hi, we are working on getting that lifted (I'm one of the maintainers.) Right now you're best bet is to sign up for your own API key/secret and supply those via either a config file or command line arguments:

  --client_id API client_id
  --client_secret API client_secret

See https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli/issues/65#issuecomment-13... for details on how to get those.

Hey, thanks for the info. I've tried that, but now I get a "Error: redirect_uri_mismatch" error.

edit: I got it working. When creating a new client id, you need to choose "Installed application" as the application type.
