I'm developing google script that uses google apps services and calendar api. Is there a way to get the video call id from CalendarEvent object?

This isn't possible using the default CalendarApp Service, you will need to use the Advanced Calendar Service (which you should enable in the Script Editor by selecting Resources > Advanced Google services... and then enable it in the Google Developers Console.) then you can get the hangoutLink of an event.

Here's an example:

function myFunction() {
  var calendarId = 'calendarId';
  var now = new Date();
  var events = Calendar.Events.list(calendarId, {
    timeMin: now.toISOString(),
    singleEvents: true,
    orderBy: 'startTime',
    maxResults: 10
  });
  if (events.items && events.items.length > 0) {
    for (var i = 0; i < events.items.length; i++) {
      var event = events.items[i];
      Logger.log('%s (%s)', event.summary, event.hangoutLink);
    }
  } else {
    Logger.log('No events found.');
  }
}

  • thanks! And is there a way to get to the advanced calendar service event starting with event object from calendar app service anyhow, or do I have to re-design everything to use advanced calendar service only? – Marcin Smieszek Aug 24 '16 at 07:49
  • Yes, that depends on your use case, for instance you can get all the event details with the default CalendarApp Service, then just create a function to retrieve the `hangoutLink`by the `eventId`. – ocordova Aug 24 '16 at 14:19
