How can I create a Google Meet link with Google Calendar API?

Question

I am using Google Calendar API to create an event in Google Calendar API. This part is already working, but now I am trying to add a Google Meet link associated to that event, and I can't make it work. This is the code:

const event = {
      'summary': eventName,
      'description': eventDescription,
      'attendees': [
        { 'email': emailFormatado }
      ],
      'start': {
        'dateTime': start.toISOString(),
        'timeZone': Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone
      },
      'end': {
        'dateTime': end.toISOString(), // Date.toISOString() ->
        'timeZone': Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone
      },
      'conferenceData': {
        'conferenceDataVersion': 1,
        'createRequest': {
          'requestId': 'sample123',
          'conferenceSolutionKey': { 'type': 'hangoutsMeet' },
        },
      }
    }

    await fetch("https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events", {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
        'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + session.provider_token
      },
      body: JSON.stringify(event)
    }).then((data) => {
      return data.json();
    }).then((data) => {
      console.log(data);
    });

I tried messing with the request and with the order of the parameters, still didn't work. The event created is still missing the Google Meet link

In your script, please use 'conferenceDataVersion': 1 as the query parameter. So, please modify as follows.

Modified script:

const event = {
  'summary': eventName,
  'description': eventDescription,
  'attendees': [
    { 'email': emailFormatado }
  ],
  'start': {
    'dateTime': start.toISOString(),
    'timeZone': Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone
  },
  'end': {
    'dateTime': end.toISOString(), // Date.toISOString() ->
    'timeZone': Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone
  },
  'conferenceData': {
    'createRequest': {
      'requestId': 'sample123',
      'conferenceSolutionKey': { 'type': 'hangoutsMeet' },
    },
  }
}

await fetch("https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events?conferenceDataVersion=1", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + session.provider_token
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(event)
}).then((data) => {
  return data.json();
}).then((data) => {
  console.log(data);
});
