  3. Find "Calendar API" in the list and turn it ON.

  4. On the sidebar, click APIs & auth > Credentials.

  5. In the "Public API access" section, click "Create new Key".

  6. Choose "Browser key".

  7. If you know what domains will host your calendar, enter them into the box. Otherwise, leave it blank. You can always change it later.
