I need a way to identify if a given Google calendar event is an 'Out of office' event using the Google Calendar API.
Previously I used to check the 'description' field of the event object, but it seems that Google has discontinued sending that field.
Simply, what I need to find is whether a Google user is on Vacation/Out-of-office on a given date. Thanks.
Out of office event, this becomes the summary - not the description - of the event.You can query with Events: list
, simply setting the free text search parameter q to "Out of office" and should obtain a response looking like the following:
{
"kind": "calendar#events",
...
"items": [
{
...
"created": "2020-11-11T08:19:11.000Z",
"updated": "2020-11-11T08:19:11.213Z",
"summary": "Out of office",
"creator": {
"email": "XXX",
"self": true
},
...
}
]
}
