Google Calendar API SendNotifications = true; Spam Protection


my code for creating events, sharing them with others and sending invites/notifications works perfectly.

But what if my code gets somehow stuck in a loop and creating events repeatedly? May I wake up some day with thousands of invites in my mailbox? Is there something like a spam-protection? :D

Didn't found anything about that in the documentation


Solution

  • Google Calendar API does not cover anti spamming. In order to prevent spamming, Google Calendar limits the number of invitations a user can send to external guests. This limit varies depending on the action and is usually between 100-300 guests.
