Google Calendar Event List Timezone issue

[goear]

While using Google Calendar's Event List API, I encountered an inconsistency in timezone settings. On Google's online API interface, setting 'timeZone' to 'Etc/UTC' correctly returns events in that timezone. However, in my PHP implementation, despite setting 'timeZone' to 'Etc/UTC', events return in the 'Europe/Madrid' timezone, the calendar's default.

In the Event List documentation I read

timeZone string Time zone used in the response. Optional. The default is the time zone of the calendar.

If I use the "try this" in the documentation page, I select 'Etc/UTC' value and the events are returning with the correct timeZone, in this case Etc/UTC.

The problem occurs when I try the same in the google API for PHP

$optParams = [ 'syncToken' => $config->syncToken(), 'timeZone' => 'Etc/UTC' ];

$results = $service->events->listEvents($externalCalendar, $optParams);

In the response for events I'm receiving them in Europe/Madrid timezone (the calendar timezone), instead of Etc/UTC.

Hi @goear ,

Thank you so much for bringing such an issue to our notice. Sorry for this late reply I tried reproducing it but it's giving me correct responses.

Without Timezone	With Timezone Etc/UTC
{"timezone" => "Asia/Kolkata", "time" => "2023-11-27T16:30:00+05:30"}	{"timezone" => "Asia/Kolkata", "time" => "2023-11-27T11:00:00Z"}

This is the expected behaviour as the same is happening in the API explorer. Can you try it once again to see if the same is still happening to you?
