I know you want to avoid the IT comlexities but we've had great success with the proxy route. The key component is the IT infrastructure. Once we started using AZURE as the infrastructure we can deploy a new proxy service in a matter of minutes. Since AZURE is microsoft everything is controled within visual studio. Depending on server load you may be able to get away with a free AZURE website to host the service.

It seems Method doesn't allow * origins for API requests so I'm facing ye olde cross-domain content loading security roadblock.

When making calls to MethodAPISelect_XMLV2, I can see in my Chrome console an error message indicating my origin (my HTML is running from GoogleDrive) is not allowed.

I understand I can use a proxy to make these calls but that just isn't the way to go. I was going with an HTML solution to try and keep it more lightweight (no compile, deploy, execute) but I'll pivot and go with a better overall solution and create a small desktop app (C#) in order to bridge @Method and @GoogleCalendar.

If anyone has some insight on this issue, feel free to weigh in.

Thx
