Watch for changes to CalendarList resources.

Scopes

You will need authorization for at least one of the following scopes to make a valid call:

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar. You can set the scope for this method like this: calendar3 --scope <scope> calendar-list watch ...

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

Channel:
  address: string
  expiration: string
  id: string
  kind: string
  params: { string: string }
  payload: boolean
  resource-id: string
  resource-uri: string
  token: string
  type: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . address=dolore
    • The address where notifications are delivered for this channel.
  • expiration=dolore
    • Date and time of notification channel expiration, expressed as a Unix timestamp, in milliseconds. Optional.
  • id=voluptua.
    • A UUID or similar unique string that identifies this channel.
  • kind=amet.
    • Identifies this as a notification channel used to watch for changes to a resource, which is "api#channel".
  • params=key=ea
    • Additional parameters controlling delivery channel behavior. Optional.
    • the value will be associated with the given key
  • payload=false
    • A Boolean value to indicate whether payload is wanted. Optional.
  • resource-id=lorem
    • An opaque ID that identifies the resource being watched on this channel. Stable across different API versions.
  • resource-uri=invidunt
    • A version-specific identifier for the watched resource.
  • token=no
    • An arbitrary string delivered to the target address with each notification delivered over this channel. Optional.
  • type=est
    • The type of delivery mechanism used for this channel. Valid values are "web_hook" (or "webhook"). Both values refer to a channel where Http requests are used to deliver messages.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional Method Properties

You may set the following properties to further configure the call. Please note that -p is followed by one or more key-value-pairs, and is called like this -p k1=v1 k2=v2 even though the listing below repeats the -p for completeness.

  • -p max-results=integer

    • Maximum number of entries returned on one result page. By default the value is 100 entries. The page size can never be larger than 250 entries. Optional.

  • -p min-access-role=string

    • The minimum access role for the user in the returned entries. Optional. The default is no restriction.

  • -p page-token=string

    • Token specifying which result page to return. Optional.

  • -p show-deleted=boolean

    • Whether to include deleted calendar list entries in the result. Optional. The default is False.

  • -p show-hidden=boolean

    • Whether to show hidden entries. Optional. The default is False.

  • -p sync-token=string

    • Token obtained from the nextSyncToken field returned on the last page of results from the previous list request. It makes the result of this list request contain only entries that have changed since then. If only read-only fields such as calendar properties or ACLs have changed, the entry won't be returned. All entries deleted and hidden since the previous list request will always be in the result set and it is not allowed to set showDeleted neither showHidden to False. To ensure client state consistency minAccessRole query parameter cannot be specified together with nextSyncToken. If the syncToken expires, the server will respond with a 410 GONE response code and the client should clear its storage and perform a full synchronization without any syncToken. Learn more about incremental synchronization. Optional. The default is to return all entries.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

  • -p alt=string

    • Data format for the response.

  • -p fields=string

    • Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.

  • -p key=string

    • API key. Your API key identifies your project and provides you with API access, quota, and reports. Required unless you provide an OAuth 2.0 token.

  • -p oauth-token=string

    • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.

  • -p quota-user=string

    • An opaque string that represents a user for quota purposes. Must not exceed 40 characters.

  • -p user-ip=string

    • Deprecated. Please use quotaUser instead.
