Have you ever booked a dining reservation, plane ticket, hotel room, concert ticket, or seats to the game from your favorite app, only to have to exit that booking app to enter the details into your calendar? Why can’t today’s apps do that for you automatically? It doesn't have to be like that. Learn how to create events using the Google Calendar API, giving your users a better experience. (7:14)

Creating events is great, but even more powerful is the ability to modify existing events. If you have a booking app, now you can automatically update a user's calendar so they don't have to do it manually, or worse, have 2 Calendar entries where one's wrong. In this video, learn how to modify events with the Calendar API, and as a bonus, also learn how to make events repeat (recurring). (6:33)

What's New with Calendar API v3

  • Starting today, all existing and new out of office events will be updated to set the organizer to unknownorganizer@calendar.google.com instead of the calendar owner. It may take 2-3 weeks for this change to fully roll out.
    You can use the calendarId from the API endpoint https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/calendarId to identify the owner of the out of office event.

  • The Calendar API now exposes a new field for events. The new field is called eventType and allows users of the API to distinguish special event types, such as outOfOffice. For more information, see the API reference.

  • From now we require conferenceData to be consistent with conferenceData.conferenceSolution.key.type; meaning only Google Meet calls can have conferenceData.conferenceSolution.key.type set to hangoutsMeet. All 3P video conference providers are expected to set conferenceData.conferenceSolution.key.type to addOn.
