What Hacker News says
4 sourcesGoogle Calendar supports CalDAV, but only behind OAuth, which many clients do not support. I've created https://github.com/bjesus/oauth-hopper to solve that - it takes care of the OAuth steps and provides a clean CalDAV endpoint that you can use to read and write to your calendar from almost any calendar application. In reality OAuth Hopper can be used to abstract OAuth away from any endpoint - it isn't CalDAV specific in anyway.
In I failed moving my Google calendar to ProtonI totally agree with you and so I'll put a shameless plug here: I've created OAuth Hopper[0] exactly for this reason.
It essentially takes a resource behind OAuth, strips OAuth from it and exposes it with Basic Access Authentication. I'm using it to let clients that don't support OAuth access services that force it.

In The complete guide to protecting your APIs with OAuth2Sometimes you can't use OAuth because your client doesn't support it. If you ever run into that problem you might find my project useful - OAuth Hopper serves as a simple proxy that removes OAuth from services.
