Google Calendar API update

[yokawa]

We're excited to begin sharing API updates in this News & Announcements section! Here's our first update...

You can now access birthday and other special events that are automatically created from Google Contacts using the Calendar API.

Birthday events now have birthdayProperties that show birthday-specific event data, such as the type of the special event, whether it's a birthday, an anniversary, or another significant date, and the contact that the event is linked to. You can use the contact as a resource name in the People API to fetch contact details.

To learn more, see the developer guide for the birthday event type. The original release note can be seen here.
