Creating events in Google Calendar

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?

Modifying events with the Google Calendar API

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 automatically 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 do 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

November 19, 2018

  • Starting on January 7, 2019, notifications and reminders using the sms method type will be ignored. The API calls setting such notifications and reminders will still succeed and modify all the other fields.

    Since Calendar offers in-app notifications, you can still get notified, regardless of your device or connection. For more information see Google Calendar SMS notifications to be removed.

October 31, 2018

  • The Calendar API now supports four new OAuth scopes. The scopes allow your application to limit access to only the data you really need. See Authorizing Google Calendar API Requests for more details.

October 2, 2018

  • A more flexible approach to sending event change notifications is now available through the sendUpdates parameter. The new parameter lets you set event change notifications to do one of the following:
    • notify all the event guests.
    • notify only the guests who are not using Google Calendar.
    • completely suppress the notifications, for example, during a migration.
    Now it is possible to always keep in sync guests using other calendaring systems, without sending too many non-mandatory emails to Google Calendar users.
