Creating and Deleting Multiple Events in Google Calendar by Batch Requests using Calendar API with Node.js
These are the sample scripts for creating and deleting multiple events in Google Calendar by batch requests using Calendar API with Node.js.
In the current stage, unfortunately, googleapis for Node.js cannot request batch requests. Ref So, when multiple events are created and deleted in Google Calendar using Node.js, it is required to run the script in a loop. In this case, the process cost becomes high. Ref In this post, I would like to introduce creating and deleting multiple events in Google Calendar using batch request with Node.js.
In these sample scripts, a Node.js module of node-gbatchrequests is used. So, please install it.
In this sample script, the access token is retrieved from "auth" of const calendar = google.calendar({ version: "v3", auth }) is used. This script is from Quickstart for Node.js.
When you use this script, please be careful about the scopes. In this case, please include https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar in the scopes.
// Here, the access token is retrieved from "auth" of this script is used.
// const calendar = google.calendar({ version: "v3", auth });
const calendarId = "###"; // Please set your Calendar ID.
// Please set multiple events you want to create.
