Google Calendar: Manage calendars and events.
— the description by Google Workspace

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

The gws-calendar skill provides a command-line interface to interact with the Google Calendar API. It allows users to manage calendars, access control lists, events, and user settings directly from their terminal. The tool supports a wide range of operations including listing, creating, updating, and deleting calendar resources, as well as querying free/busy information.

What it does

  • Manage calendar access control lists through various CRUD operations.
  • List, create, update, and delete calendars within the user's calendar list.
  • Perform event operations such as importing, moving, and quick-adding events.
  • Query free/busy information for multiple calendars.
  • Retrieve and watch user settings and color definitions.
  • Inspect API schemas to determine required parameters and data types.

When to use it

  • When you need to automate calendar management tasks via scripts.
  • When you want to perform bulk operations on calendar events or settings.
  • When you need to integrate Google Calendar data into a terminal-based workflow.
  • When you need to audit or modify calendar access control rules.

Advantages

  • Provides granular control over Google Calendar resources via CLI.
  • Supports schema inspection to verify parameters before execution.
  • Enables programmatic access to calendar metadata and event instances.
  • Facilitates integration with other command-line tools and automation pipelines.

Usage examples

“How can I see all available methods for the calendar resource?”
The user can run gws calendar --help to browse all available resources and methods.
“How do I check the required parameters for creating an event?”
The user can run gws schema calendar.events.insert to see the necessary parameters, types, and defaults.

API Resources

acl
  • delete — Deletes an access control rule.

  • get — Returns an access control rule.

  • insert — Creates an access control rule.

  • list — Returns the rules in the access control list for the calendar.

  • patch — Updates an access control rule. This method supports patch semantics.

  • update — Updates an access control rule.

  • watch — Watch for changes to ACL resources.

calendarList
  • delete — Removes a calendar from the user's calendar list.

  • get — Returns a calendar from the user's calendar list.

  • insert — Inserts an existing calendar into the user's calendar list.

  • list — Returns the calendars on the user's calendar list.

  • patch — Updates an existing calendar on the user's calendar list. This method supports patch semantics.

  • update — Updates an existing calendar on the user's calendar list.

  • watch — Watch for changes to CalendarList resources.

calendars
  • clear — Clears a primary calendar. This operation deletes all events associated with the primary calendar of an account.

  • delete — Deletes a secondary calendar. Use calendars.clear for clearing all events on primary calendars.

  • get — Returns metadata for a calendar.

  • insert — Creates a secondary calendar. The authenticated user for the request is made the data owner of the new calendar.

Note: We recommend to authenticate as the intended data owner of the calendar. You can use domain-wide delegation of authority to allow applications to act on behalf of a specific user. Don't use a service account for authentication. If you use a service account for authentication, the service account is the data owner, which can lead to unexpected behavior.

  • patch — Updates metadata for a calendar. This method supports patch semantics.

  • update — Updates metadata for a calendar.

channels
  • stop — Stop watching resources through this channel

colors
  • get — Returns the color definitions for calendars and events.

events
  • delete — Deletes an event.

  • get — Returns an event based on its Google Calendar ID. To retrieve an event using its iCalendar ID, call the events.list method using the iCalUID parameter.

  • import — Imports an event. This operation is used to add a private copy of an existing event to a calendar. Only events with an eventType of default may be imported. Deprecated behavior: If a non-default event is imported, its type will be changed to default and any event-type-specific properties it may have will be dropped.

  • insert — Creates an event.

  • instances — Returns instances of the specified recurring event.

  • list — Returns events on the specified calendar.

  • move — Moves an event to another calendar, i.e. changes an event's organizer. Note that only default events can be moved; birthday, focusTime, fromGmail, outOfOffice and workingLocation events cannot be moved.

  • patch — Updates an event. This method supports patch semantics.

  • quickAdd — Creates an event based on a simple text string.

  • update — Updates an event.

settings
  • get — Returns a single user setting.

  • list — Returns all user settings for the authenticated user.

  • watch — Watch for changes to Settings resources.

Discovering Commands

Before calling any API method, inspect it:

# Browse resources and methods
gws calendar --help

# Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults
gws schema calendar.<resource>.<method>

Use gws schema output to build your --params and --json flags.
