I'm trying to create a script to search for a specific event in my calendar, but when I use the service.events().get(calendarId='primary', eventId=event_id).execute() method as the docs shows, I get a TypeError exception in the eventID argument.
In my event_id variable there is the actual id of an event that I have saved previously on a database with the events().list() method.
In the docs it's specified that a string argument is necessary but if I print(type(event_id)), it returns as a string.
I already checked that there is an event with that has eventID as its id.
Am I missing something?
This is the traceback of the error:
File "path\to\project\venv\lib\site-packages\googleapiclient\discovery.py", line 1019, in method
raise TypeError('Got an unexpected keyword argument {}'.format(name))
TypeError: Got an unexpected keyword argument eventID
About service.events().get(calendarId='primary', eventId=event_id).execute(), when eventId of eventId=event_id is eventID, an error of TypeError: Got an unexpected keyword argument "eventID" occurs. I thought that the reason of your error message of TypeError: Got an unexpected keyword argument eventID is due to this.
In this case, please confirm your script. When it's eventID=event_id, please modify to eventId=event_id.
But, in this case, when your event_id is an invalid value, an error of Not Found occurs. Please be careful about this.
From I'm trying to create a script to search for a specific event in my calendar, if you want to retrieve the event list from a Calendar, you can also use the following sample script. This sample script is from Events: list.
page_token = None
while True:
events = service.events().list(calendarId='primary', pageToken=page_token).execute()
for event in events['items']:
print(event['summary'])
page_token = events.get('nextPageToken')
if not page_token:
break
When the sample script for python, you can see the following script.
event = service.events().get(calendarId='primary', eventId='eventId').execute()
