Examples on how to call calendar.create_event with the RESTapi

[vague666]

Feedback

It's unclear how the data should be formatted for a valid request when POSTing to /api/services/calendar/create_event (or if that is even supported yet)

@vague666 The body of the POST request needs to look like this for the create_event REST API call to work

{
    "entity_id": "calendar.garbage_collector",
    "summary": "My Test Entry",
    "start_date": "2024-01-01",
    "end_date": "2024-01-02"
}

Thanks @HenryTheSwede :) that's a step in the right direction. I managed to add an event with that. My next issue is that I'd like to add a yearly recurring event, and looking at what data was returned from a GET request, I figured {"end_date":"2024-05-09","entity_id":"calendar.Birthdays","recurrence_id":"20240508","rrule":"FREQ=YEARLY","start_date":"2024-05-08","summary":"a birthday"} would work but I keep getting a 400 Bad request for any variation I try

[vague666]

Looking at the source I guess create_event hasn't implemented those input parameters yet? Not too familiar with the inner workings of HA

[HenryTheSwede]

Agree @vague666, looking at the documentation of create_event, this function doesn't have these kind of parameters yet, therefore not available via the API either

I'm trying also use API to create events, but there is very little documentation on this. when I'm trying to do post to this url 'http://homeassistant.local:8123/api/services/calendar/create_event' I get bad request issue (I did enable api in configuration) really appreciate any help 🙏
