hi I am using google api to get all the events which is working fine. There is a parameter where I can specify fields name which I need to retrieve. There is a filed named as items where all the events data are coming. Now I want to get specific data of that items filed. Not all the data.

This is how I am getting all the data of that items.

https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/CALENDAR_ID/events?showDeleted=true&timeMax=2021-08-16T06%3A00%3A46.000Z&timeMin=2021-04-16T06%3A00%3A46.000Z&prettyPrint=true&fields=items&key=[YOUR_API_KEY]

This is how data are coming.

{
"items": [
{
"kind": "calendar#event",
"etag": "\"hfsfjadj\"",
"id": "adfjadfjad",
"status": "confirmed",
"htmlLink": "https://www.google.com/calendar/event?eid=adfjdafjd",
"created": "2021-05-24T05:47:42.000Z",
"updated": "2021-05-24T05:47:42.331Z",
"summary": "dafhafj",
"creator": {
"email": "adfjadfj@gmail.com",
"self": true
},
"organizer": {
"email": "adfjadfj@gmail.com",
"self": true
},
"start": {
 "dateTime": "2021-05-24T11:30:00+06:00"
},
"end": {
 "dateTime": "2021-05-24T12:30:00+06:00"
},
"iCalUID": "dfjdfjdfj@google.com",
"sequence": 0,
"reminders": {
 "useDefault": true
},
"eventType": "default"
}
]
}

I wanted to fetch only id, start,end and summary not the entire thing which is given above.

You can specify nested fields by enclosing them in round brackets, and multiple fields should be separated by commas. Your provided fields would be something like this:

items(id,start,end,summary)

Therefore, the URL would change from this:

https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/CALENDAR_ID/events?showDeleted=true&timeMax=2021-08-16T06%3A00%3A46.000Z&timeMin=2021-04-16T06%3A00%3A46.000Z&prettyPrint=true&fields=items&key=[YOUR_API_KEY]

To this:

https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/CALENDAR_ID/events?showDeleted=true&timeMax=2021-08-16T06%3A00%3A46.000Z&timeMin=2021-04-16T06%3A00%3A46.000Z&prettyPrint=true&fields=items(id%2Cstart%2Cend%2Csummary)&key=[YOUR_API_KEY]
