I'm trying to create a Google Meet meeting using Google Calendar. After reading the documentation, I saw that there is a variable that is responsible for creating a meeting (conferenceDataVersion
). I tried to declare it in different places, but it doesn't work. But simple events are created.
class GoogleCalendar:
def add_event(self, calendar_id, body):
return self.service.events().insert(
calendarId = calendar_id,
body = body).execute()
obj = GoogleCalendar()
calendar = 'gmail@gmail.com'
event = {
'conferenceDataVersion': 1,
'summary': 'Тест',
'location': 'Минск',
'description': 'Описание',
'start': {
'date': '2023-05-25',
},
'end': {
'date': '2023-05-26',
},
'conferenceData': {
'createRequest': {
'requestId': 'somestring',
'conferenceSolutionKey': {
'type': 'hangoutsMeet'
},
},
}
}
event = obj.add_event(calendar_id = calendar, body = event)
I tried to declare conferenceDataVersion in add_event, but swore at the incorrect declaration of the variable.
version = 1
def add_event(self, calendar_id, body, conference_data_version ):
return self.service.events().insert(
calendarId = calendar_id,
body = body, conferenceDataVersion = conference_data_version).execute()
event = obj.add_event(calendar_id = calendar, body = event, conference_data_version = version)
conferenceDataVersion
is the argument of .insert
method:
service.events().insert(calendarId=calendar_id, body=body, conferenceDataVersion=1)
I'd suggest using a google-calendar-simple-api
(disclaimer: I might be biased because I'm the author of the library). Install it with:
pip install gcsa
Here is the equivalent code using google-calendar-simple-api
:
from datetime import date
from gcsa.google_calendar import GoogleCalendar
from gcsa.event import Event
from gcsa.conference import ConferenceSolutionCreateRequest, SolutionType
calendar = 'gmail@gmail.com'
gc = GoogleCalendar(calendar)
event = Event(
'Тест',
location='Минск',
description='Описание',
start=date(2023, 5, 25),
conference_solution=ConferenceSolutionCreateRequest(
solution_type=SolutionType.HANGOUTS_MEET,
)
)
event = gc.add_event(event)
