# Google Calendar Access the Google Calendar API with managed OAuth authentication. Create and manage events, list calendars, and check availability. ## Quick Start ```bash # List upcoming events python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events?maxResults=10&orderBy=startTime&singleEvents=true') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ## Base URL ``` https://gateway.maton.ai/google-calendar/{native-api-path} ``` Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual Google Calendar API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `www.googleapis.com` and automatically injects your OAuth token. ## Authentication All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header: ``` Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY ``` **Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`: ```bash export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY" ``` ### Getting Your API Key 1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai) 2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings) 3. Copy your API key ## Connection Management Manage your Google OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`. ### List Connections ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=google-calendar&status=ACTIVE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Create Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'app': 'google-calendar'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Get Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` **Response:** ```json { "connection": { "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80", "status": "ACTIVE", "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z", "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z", "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...", "app": "google-calendar", "metadata": {} } } ``` Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization. ### Delete Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Specifying Connection If you have multiple Google Calendar connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header: ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection. ## API Reference ### List Calendars ```bash GET /google-calendar/calendar/v3/users/me/calendarList ``` ### Get Calendar ```bash GET /google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/{calendarId} ``` Use `primary` for the user's primary calendar. ### List Events ```bash GET /google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events?maxResults=10&orderBy=startTime&singleEvents=true ``` With time bounds: ```bash GET /google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events?timeMin=2024-01-01T00:00:00Z&timeMax=2024-12-31T23:59:59Z&singleEvents=true&orderBy=startTime ``` ### Get Event ```bash GET /google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events/{eventId} ``` ### Create Event ```bash POST /google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events Content-Type: application/json { "summary": "Team Meeting", "description": "Weekly sync", "start": { "dateTime": "2024-01-15T10:00:00", "timeZone": "America/Los_Angeles" }, "end": { "dateTime": "2024-01-15T11:00:00", "timeZone": "America/Los_Angeles" }, "attendees": [ {"email": "attendee@example.com"} ] } ``` ### Create All-Day Event ```bash POST /google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events Content-Type: application/json { "summary": "All Day Event", "start": {"date": "2024-01-15"}, "end": {"date": "2024-01-16"} } ``` ### Update Event ```bash PUT /google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events/{eventId} Content-Type: application/json { "summary": "Updated Meeting Title", "start": {"dateTime": "2024-01-15T10:00:00Z"}, "end": {"dateTime": "2024-01-15T11:00:00Z"} } ``` ### Patch Event (partial update) ```bash PATCH /google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events/{eventId} Content-Type: application/json { "summary": "New Title Only" } ``` ### Delete Event ```bash DELETE /google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events/{eventId} ``` ### Quick Add Event (natural language) ```bash POST /google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events/quickAdd?text=Meeting+with+John+tomorrow+at+3pm ``` ### Free/Busy Query ```bash POST /google-calendar/calendar/v3/freeBusy Content-Type: application/json { "timeMin": "2024-01-15T00:00:00Z", "timeMax": "2024-01-16T00:00:00Z", "items": [{"id": "primary"}] } ``` ## Code Examples ### JavaScript ```javascript // List events const response = await fetch( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events?maxResults=10&singleEvents=true', { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}` } } ); // Create event await fetch( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}` }, body: JSON.stringify({ summary: 'Meeting', start: { dateTime: '2024-01-15T10:00:00Z' }, end: { dateTime: '2024-01-15T11:00:00Z' } }) } ); ``` ### Python ```python import os import requests headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'} # List events events = requests.get( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events', headers=headers, params={'maxResults': 10, 'singleEvents': 'true'} ).json() # Create event response = requests.post( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events', headers=headers, json={ 'summary': 'Meeting', 'start': {'dateTime': '2024-01-15T10:00:00Z'}, 'end': {'dateTime': '2024-01-15T11:00:00Z'} } ) ``` ## Notes - Use `primary` as calendarId for the user's main calendar - Times must be in RFC3339 format (e.g., `2024-01-15T10:00:00Z`) - For recurring events, use `singleEvents=true` to expand instances - `orderBy=startTime` requires `singleEvents=true` - IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain brackets (`fields[]`, `sort[]`, `records[]`) to disable glob parsing - IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping. ## Error Handling | Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | 400 | Missing Google Calendar connection | | 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key | | 429 | Rate limited (10 req/sec per account) | | 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Google Calendar API | ### Troubleshooting: Invalid API Key **When you receive a "Invalid API key" error, ALWAYS follow these steps before concluding there is an issue:** 1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set: ```bash echo $MATON_API_KEY ``` 2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections: ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ## Resources - [Calendar API Overview](https://developers.google.com/calendar/api/v3/reference) - [List Calendars](https://developers.google.com/workspace/calendar/api/v3/reference/calendarList/list) - [List Events](https://developers.google.com/workspace/calendar/api/v3/reference/events/list) - [Get Event](https://developers.google.com/workspace/calendar/api/v3/reference/events/get) - [Insert Event](https://developers.google.com/workspace/calendar/api/v3/reference/events/insert)
