Hi Casper,

There have been other requests to only return partial event data in a feed. Right now the most limited projection available is 'basic', which still returns quite a bit more than simply the ids for the event. Since this is something that would require changes to be made to the service itself, I recommend that you update the API Feature Requests page:

Good luck on your mobile app. :)

Cheers, -Jeff

Hi :)!

I read through the Calendar API and so on, and I'm wondering is there a way of querying the calendar for a specific date range events, that will return only the IDs of the events matching the query?

I'm developing some gCal functionality for mobiles, and there seems to be a lot of redundancy when receiving feeds. I would like to avoid that, for the sake of user's pennies :)

Has anyone faced this sort of problem? Better yet, has anyone come up with a solution?
