List events

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Get a list of event objects in the user's mailbox. The list contains single instance meetings and series masters.

To get expanded event instances, you can get the calendar view, or get the instances of an event.

Currently, this operation returns event bodies in only HTML format.

There are two scenarios where an app can get events in another user's calendar:

• If the app has application permissions, or,
• If the app has the appropriate delegated permissions from one user, and another user has shared a calendar with that user, or, has given delegated access to that user. See details and an example.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Support various time zones

For all GET operations that return events, you can use the Prefer: outlook.timezone header to specify the time zone for the event start and end times in the response.

For example, the following Prefer: outlook.timezone header sets the start and end times in the response to Eastern Standard Time.

Prefer: outlook.timezone="Eastern Standard Time"

If the event was created in a different time zone, the start and end times will be adjusted to the time zone specified in that Prefer header. See this list for the supported time zone names. If the Prefer: outlook.timezone header is not specified, the start and end times are returned in UTC.

You can use the OriginalStartTimeZone and OriginalEndTimeZone properties on the event resource to find out the time zone used when the event was created.

Permissions

One of the following permissions is required to call this API. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Permissions.

HTTP request

GET /me/events
GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/events

GET /me/calendar/events
GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/calendar/events

GET /me/calendars/{id}/events
GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/calendars/{id}/events

GET /me/calendarGroups/{id}/calendars/{id}/events
GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/calendarGroups/{id}/calendars/{id}/events

Optional query parameters

This method supports the OData query parameters to help customize the response.

Request headers

Request body

Don't supply a request body for this method.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and collection of event objects in the response body.

Examples

Request

The following example shows a request. It specifies the following:

• A Prefer: outlook.timezone header to get date time values returned in Pacific Standard Time.
• A $select query parameter to return specific properties. Without a $select parameter, all of the event properties will be returned.
