Use working locations with the Calendar API for apps and workflows- Google Developers BlogThis post announces the general availability of the Calendar API's ability to programmatically read and write user working locations. It details three primary use cases: synchronizing with third-party tools (like desk booking or HR management systems), displaying working locations on other surfaces (e.g., directories, hybrid-work scheduling tools), and analyzing working location patterns for facility management. It also provides links to developer documentation for reading and writing working locations, an announcement video, and the original post detailing feature availability.
  2. Modifying events with the Google Calendar API- Google Developers BlogThis post details the addition of functionality to the Google Calendar API that allows for programmatic reading and writing of user working locations. This enables developers to synchronize this information with third-party tools, display it on other surfaces, and analyze working patterns.
  3. Introducing the new Calendar Resource API- Google Developers BlogIntroduces the Calendar Resource API, allowing programmatic access to user working locations for synchronization, display, and analysis. This feature is available for eligible Workspace editions.
  4. Google Calendar API invites users to great experiences- Google Developers BlogThis post announces the ability to programmatically read and write user working locations via the Google Calendar API.
