Calendar API
We released an updated version of our API in November 2023. While these endpoints are still supported, they will be deprecated over the coming months, and so we reccommend using the new API going forward. Documentation for the updated calendar and event APIs can be found here: API v2 Documentation
warning
The API has predictable, resource-oriented URLs, and uses HTTP response codes to indicate API errors.
All API access is over HTTPS. All data is received as JSON, including errors.
Data
Please URL encode all parameter values.
The API requires an API token to work.
Please sign in or
create an account to receive your
accounts API tokens.
