Understanding Google Calendar API Methods
I’m working with Google Calendar API and need clarification on two specific methods. What are the key differences between the insert and import operations when adding events to calendars?
My Current Understanding
From what I’ve read, the import method is supposed to create a private copy of an existing event in a calendar. I tried using this approach and passed the original event’s CalUID, but I noticed something interesting.
The Issue I’m Facing
When I create an event copy using the import method, there doesn’t seem to be any real connection between the original event and the new copy. If I modify the copied event, the original remains unchanged. This makes me wonder how this behavior is actually different from using the regular insert method.
What I Need to Know
Can someone explain the practical differences between these two API endpoints? When should I use import versus insert, and what are the specific use cases for each method?
