Usage Examples

Log the Next 10 Calendar Events

The snippet below, adapted from calendar/quickstart, shows how to call the Calendar API from Apps Script.

/**
 * Fetches and logs the next 10 events from the primary calendar.
 */
function listUpcomingEvents() {
  const calendarId = 'primary'; // Target calendar ID
  const now = new Date();

  // Call the Advanced Calendar Service
  const response = Calendar.Events.list(calendarId, {
    timeMin: now.toISOString(), // From now onward
    maxResults: 10,
    singleEvents: true,
    orderBy: 'startTime'
  });

  const events = response.items || [];
  if (events.length === 0) {
    Logger.log('No upcoming events found.');
    return;
  }

  // Log each event's title and start time
  events.forEach(event => {
    const start = event.start.dateTime || event.start.date;
    Logger.log('%s (%s)', event.summary, start);
  });
}

Paste this into the Apps Script editor, enable the "Calendar API" under Resources → Advanced Google services, and run the function to see event details in the log.
