Google calendar api- get default event notifications settings

I am trying to fetch calendar event details using google web api, and in the response I see:

"reminders":{"useDefault":true}

Is there a way to somehow see what is the actual default value for reminders? I tried querying the calendar settings but I can't see anything related to reminders. I can't find anything related in the api reference also. Am I missing something or is it just not possible to know the default reminders time via google api??

Solution

  • How to get the calendar default reminder value:

    Under Calendar API events list or Calendarlist get. In the requested parameters, under calendarID enter primary if you will use the primary calendar. If you will use the secondary calendars that you have, enter the full calendarID.

    Next, click 'Execute'. Then if the response is 200 it should show you the default reminders value if you have set an event notification for that calendar.

    Since the default reminder value is already declared in the first part like what is shown above, for the events under that calendar that there's no modification in reminders it will only show:

    "reminders":{"useDefault":true}

    That means it is using the default value you set for that calendar's reminder. It will only specify a specific value if there's changes in the reminder for an event.
