title: Is there a way to programmatically import ICS into Google Calendar?
body: <p>I don't see any obvious way to import ICS files into Google Calendar from the API docs here:</p>

  <p>And I'd greatly prefer not to have to parse them myself just to send the appointments into GCal.  I'm looking for a programmatic solution, not something like import plugins for Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.  Third party APIs to do the ICS parsing are acceptable, in any language.  Any ideas?</p>
