I get the error as

    {
      "error": {
        "code": 500,
        "message": "Internal error encountered.",
        "status": "INTERNAL"
      }
    }

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

It looks like the 500 Internal Error message you are receiving is due to the fact that you are using the calendarUrls field in the request.

This might in fact be a bug so I have taken the opportunity to file a report on Google's Issue Tracker here.

I suggest you star the issue as all the updates will be posted there.
