Sample Scripts for Creating New Event with Google Meet Link to Google Calendar using Various Languages

This is the sample scripts for creating new event with Google Meet link to Google Calendar using various languages. When I saw the official document of "Add video and phone conferences to events", in the current stage, I can see only the sample script for Javascript. But I saw the several questions related to this for various languages. So I published the sample scripts for creating new event with Google Meet link to Google Calendar using various languages.

In order to create new event with Google Meet link to Google Calendar, it is required to set the request body and query parameter as follows.

Please add the following object to the request body.

conferenceData: {
  createRequest: {
    requestId: "sample123",
    conferenceSolutionKey: { type: "hangoutsMeet" },
  },
}

And also, please add conferenceDataVersion=1 to the query parameter.

The following scripts creates the same event including Google Meet link.

1. Javascript
2. Go
3. Google Apps Script
4. Node.js
5. PHP
6. Python
7. Ruby
8. Curl

Thanks a lot for posting this @tanaikech!

Thanks for this!

Thank you so much for posting this! I have done this using Firebase and fetch JavaScript

await fetch( 'https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events?conferenceDataVersion=1', { method: 'POST', headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer ' + userToken, // use Firebase Google sign in to obtain this }, body: JSON.stringify(event), } ) .then((data) => { return data.json(); }) .then((data) => { console.log(data); console.log('Event created'); }); };

Thank you

@juancmandev
I guess the userToken would come from the user firebase login details after signing in right?
can you send a copy of code snippet for the event object.
