I am trying to create a website which allows users to add a 'unique'
secondary calendar to their Google Calendar accounts.  There are
multiple events and each is recurring.  These calendars do not need to
be seen by me ever again (no updates).  I am trying to decide upon how
to best perform this task:

-I believe the 'uniqueness' of the calendars rules out a subscription-
based approach to the problem, as I would need to generate countless
calendars on my account (not to mention the security issues).

-I can clearly do this through the API with authsub -> calendar
insert.  However, I find this approach to be a bit too intrusive as my
server would have access to the user's entire calendar (and other
google data?).  The redirect is also undesirable.

-Optimally,  I would have a simple HTML link which would offer the
user the option of adding my calendar, similar to the functionality
shown in the below link.   It may even be acceptable to have multiple
HTML links, one for each recurring event.  However, the event
publisher does not seem to have support for multiple or recurring
events.

So am I missing another option?  Or am I pretty much forced to use the
authsub approach.  I feel as if I am missing something obvious.  This
is my first attempt at using the Google Calendar API and I hope the
community here can give me some guidance!

Thanks,
Carl
