We are using the API of google calendar to create events and we have some invites to that, the problem is that we want to get the Attendance, we know that calendar has the feature Attendance Tracking, and that works perfectly, but we need to get that information from the google API. for now it sends me a email at the end of the meet with an excel with that information. but I need to get it from the API cos, we have a lot of meeting and need to update this information automaticly.
thanks a lot if you give some route or some idea to reach it!!!
I am triging to get this information from the caelndar API V3 following this doc but I just get the event info and attendees, but I need to get the Attendance.

I wonder if I can get working places for all users from organization using calendar API. Coworkers from my organization uses google calendar to mark if they work from home or office. I attach screen to show what I am talking about.
I've searched many endpoints from calendar API but did not find suitable one. Is it possible to get those information from API?
It is not yet possible to retrieve those information from the API.
But Google already documented it (tutorial, API reference) and it should come at some point in the (hopefully) near future.
Here is the related issue in their tracker : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/199918380
I want to be able to pull all text messages from a google chat space.
I'm looking at the spaces.messages.getbut it assumes you have the ID of a message. In similar programs (MS Teams), you can call an endpoint to list all message ID and then call the message API to extract the contents of an ID. However, google chat has no such API.
Has anyone come across a way to do this?
This is currently not possible
There is already a respective feature request on Google Issue's Tracker.
I recomment you to star it to increase visibility and hope that it will be implemented soon.
I have read a helpful post for grades...
Is there an API for extracting grades in Google Classroom
and the API for grading...
https://developers.google.com/classroom/guides/manage-coursework#grade_student_responses
but haven't been able to see anything for rubric grading data yet. Or am I missing it?
Answer:
Unfortunately, at this time, there isn't a way of getting Rubrics from the Classroom API.
Feature Request:
There is already a report on Google's Issue Tracker which request this feature to be added to the API:
Add Rubrics to Classroom API
It appears that Google does seem to know about this and has responded on the above feature request. What you can do it hit the ☆ next to the issue number in the top left on the aforementioned page - this lets Google know more people are wanting this feature to be implemented and so it is more likely to be seen to faster.
I am developing a chat application to provide information on users in our organization.
My question is there any way to access someone's calendar without their inference?
if there is a way how to do it?
Writing it as an answer so it's more clear. In case of public Calendars, you still need the owner to give edit permissions to you in order to make changes in the Calendar, like creating events.
For a more complete explanation: Share your calendar with someone
I would like to implement a Google Calendar API using FullCalendar Javascript.
Before any start of coding I have some problem to understand what is the main purpose of the Google Calendar API.
As you know there is some Auth process before creation and enabling API.
That means that I, as owner or developer want to use Google Calendar API so I get client/secret/keys strings and it is OK.
I can create an app where I can “promote” my Google Account Calendar being public and then I can show all events from that calendar (dentist booking etc).
Also I am able to use Calendar in another way. For example: Within my App I can create one page where users can auth to their google accounts and see their events
are already created.
But, What if my logged users don't have a Google Accounts.
Google Calendar is strongly connected to already created google accounts? Is it possible to use Google Calendar strictly as an REST API?
I know that this may be a stupid questions but this is something that most of Google Calendar API beginners have problem with.
There are technically two ways of accessing a calendar on Google Calendar.
Your first option is where you are using Oauth2 to authenticate your users. They give you access to their google calendar and you can then insert events directly into their calendar. You can also see the events that they currently have. This as you said wont work if the user in question does not have a google account.
Your second option is to use something called a service account. Think of a service account as a dummy user. It has its own Google calendar account minus the web view. You could potentially us that to store events in a global calendar application calendar. Then when you want to add a user to an event you invite them you can set notification no they should receive an email and they will them be able to add the event to their own personal calendar. For you this may work out better because it does not require you to have access to the Users google calendar the only draw back will be there is no way for you to see if said user has any events going on at that time since you don't have access to their account to check.
I have given you a couple of links to some tutorials that I have write a few years ago that explains the difference between oauth2 and service accounts.
Google Calendars are tied to users, which means Google users. First of all, to access the API you need a GoogleAPIs developer key. This requires a Google account. Then you need Google accounts to use or test with the API.
The Google Calendar is tied to a user account as described at https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/concepts/. One thing to notice is that "event" is an atomic unit in the API and a calendar is a set of events. In other words, a calendar in the Calendar API isn't a timespan like we think of "this year's calendar", it's a set of event objects. Within the app you describe, if the users don't have google accounts then they don't have associated calendars. You would have to tie these users to some kind of public or shared calendar. It's unclear if using the Calendar API solely as a REST API as you describe (without actual or "verified" user accounts) is in accordance with the Terms & Conditions. That aside, in theory it may be possible to use a service like that as a REST API to suit your needs. Maybe you can try inverting the problem so an event becomes the user with a primary calendar. Now the location of the event can be treated as the API-event. Other (normal Google) users can "attend" the location, at the given time, created by this event (=user). You could also apply the same approach to invert the problem by location. Location becomes the user, event becomes the API-event, and attendees are normal users. The latter approach is used commonly in businesses to book resources like rooms, equipment, etc.
