How to publish an event using the Google Calendar API?

Question

I'm able to create an event using insert, but I would like to get the link I can give to my users so this screen appears:

The link looks like this: https://calendar.google.com/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=Mm4zaXFnZHEyZHRwMG1qOTRtdW1idW5wanMgbFjaG9jYWJAbQ&[email protected]

In the GUI this is called "Publish Event"

How can I do this using the API?

How about this answer?

I think that the link might not be able to be directly retrieved by the Calendar API. But, I think that the structure of link can be created using the calendar ID and htmlLink of the event retrieved by the methods of "Events: get" and "Events: list" in Calendar API. In this answer, I would like to propose the method for this. The flow of this method is as follows.

Flow:

Retrieve the calendar ID.
- In your case, it's [email protected].

Retrieve the event ID.

In this case, you can retrieve this using the methods of "Events: list" in Calendar API like below.

  curl \
    'https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/{calendarId}/events?timeMax=###&timeMin=###' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN]' \
    --header 'Accept: application/json' \
    --compressed

Retrieve htmlLink using the method of "Events: get" in Calendar API. Please use the retrieved event ID here.
```
 curl \
   'https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/{calendarId}/events/{eventId}' \
   --header 'Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN]' \
   --header 'Accept: application/json' \
   --compressed
```
- htmlLink is like https://www.google.com/calendar/event?eid=###. ### is the base65 encoded event ID and calendar ID. Ref So also, you can create this. This is used for the next section.
Create the link you want.
- The link is like https://calendar.google.com/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=###&tmsrc={calendarId}
- ### of the value of eid can be retrieved from the retrieved htmlLink.

I think that as a test, you can retrieve the values using "Try this API" of the following pages.
