List events

2024-06-22

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Get a list of event objects from the user's default calendar or from a specified calendar. 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.

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.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

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.

Permission type	Permissions (from least to most privileged)
Delegated (work or school account)	Calendars.ReadBasic, Calendars.Read, Calendars.ReadWrite
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Calendars.ReadBasic, Calendars.Read, Calendars.ReadWrite
Application	Calendars.ReadBasic, Calendars.Read, Calendars.ReadWrite

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.

Note

You can't use the $filter parameter to filter on the recurrence property.

Request headers

Name	Type	Description
Authorization	string	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Prefer: outlook.timezone	string	Use this to specify the time zone for start and end times in the response. If not specified, those time values are returned in UTC. Optional.
Prefer: outlook.body-content-type	string	The format of the body property to be returned in. Values can be "text" or "html". A `Preference-Applied` header is returned as confirmation if this `Prefer` header is specified. If the header is not specified, the body property is returned in HTML format. Optional.

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

Example 1: Get all user's events

The first example gets all the user's events. 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.

The request does not specify any Prefer: outlook.body-content-type header to indicate a specific format for the returned event body.

Request

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/events?$select=subject,body,bodyPreview,organizer,attendees,start,end,location
Prefer: outlook.timezone="Pacific Standard Time"


// Code snippets are only available for the latest version. Current version is 5.x

var result = await graphClient.Me.Events.GetAsync((requestConfiguration) =>

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.

Response

The following example shows the response. Because no Prefer: outlook.body-content-type header was specified, the body property is returned in the default HTML format.

Example 2: Get the body propery of the message

The following example shows how to use a Prefer: outlook.body-content-type="text" header to get the body property of the specified message in text format.

The request also uses a $select query parameter to return specific properties. Without a $select parameter, all of the event properties will be returned.

Request

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/events?$select=subject,body,bodyPreview
Prefer: outlook.body-content-type="text"
