How to all the events including full day events, hourly events and recuring events?

from gcsa.google_calendar import GoogleCalendar
from google.oauth2 import service_account
import pytz
from datetime import datetime

start_date_cal = datetime.strptime('2022-08-01 00:00:00', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
end_date_cal = datetime.strptime('2022-09-01 00:00:00', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar']
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE = 'client_secrets2.json'

CAL_ID = 'xyz@gmail.com'

# authorize
credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE, scopes=SCOPES)
calendar_auth = GoogleCalendar(CAL_ID, credentials=credentials)

calendar_events = calendar_auth.get_events(start_date_cal, end_date_cal, timezone='Israel')

I have a user of Israel and I want to fetch his events in google calendar. The code above fetches only 5 events which are full day events. There are around 35-40 events but I am getting very few. What am I missing?

I tried adding maxResults argument but I am getting error

TypeError: Got an unexpected keyword argument kwargs

calendar_events = calendar_auth.get_events(start_date_cal, end_date_cal, timezone='Israel', kwargs={'maxResults': 2500})

1. To pass an additional API parameter(s) you just pass them as a normal argument:

calendar_auth.get_events(..., maxResults=2500)

or unpack the dictionary

calendar_auth.get_events(..., **{'maxResults': 2500})

2. maxResults parameter is the size of the single response page. GCSA will go through all the pages automatically, so all the events will be fetched regardless of the value of maxResults.

3. get_events returns all the events including full-day, hourly, and recurring events. But it only returns the main event for the recurring events. To return all the instances of the recurring event you should specify single_events parameter:

calendar_auth.get_events(start_date_cal, end_date_cal, timezone='Israel', single_events=True)

Could be that events' visibility is set to "private"? Can you access them from your own (non-service) account?

Do you mean by oauth 2.0 ?

[kuzmoyev]

Yes. If you used your own account instead of the service account

I tried but I got insufficient scopes. To see all the event's titles, descriptions, and timezone, it required adding a sensitive scope which I wasn't able to add because the GCP app is a testing app.

I haven't enabled domain-wide delegation for the service account which I am using. Will this be causing the error?
