OAuth2 is used for authenticating with your Google account. The resulting token is placed in the %LOCALPATH%\chronxToken file in windows and /tmp/chronxToken file in linux (or) macOS. When you first start chronx using chronx init command, the authentication process will proceed. Simply follow the instructions.

You currently have to use your own Calendar API token. Our Calendar API token is restricted to few users only and waits for Google's approval to be unlocked.

1. Create a New Project within the Google developer console
2. Enable the Google Calendar API
3. Create OAuth2 consent screen for an "Desktop Application".
4. Create OAuth Client ID
5. Grab your newly created Client ID and Client Secret from the Credentials page.
6. Set these google credientials as Environmental varibales in your system and call chronx init command.

Note ClientID as CHRONXID and client secret as CHRONXSECRET
