Calendly API Node.js

Calendly API bindings for Node.js

Installation

$ npm install --save node-calendly

API

The API is accessed by a central object that constructs the endpoints to the Calendly API.

This module implements the Calendly API v2.0.0: https://developer.calendly.com/api-docs/d7755e2f9e5fe-calendly-api

Calendly(ACCESS_TOKEN:string)

Creates a new Calendly instance. NOTE: Currently only personal access tokens are implemented, used for internal applications.

Arguments

• ACCESS_TOKEN - Required - A string containing the ACCESS_TOKEN for Calendly. You can create your private ACCESS_TOKEN via Calendly web site. See https://developer.calendly.com/getting-started

Return value

A Calendly instance.

Example

import Calendly from 'node-calendly';

const calendly: Calendly = new Calendly(CALENDLY_ACCESS_TOKEN);

API call limits

No Calendly call limits known and implemented.

API endpoints

Every endpoint is accessed via your node-calendlyinstance:

const calendly: Calendly = new Calendly(CALENDLY_ACCESS_TOKEN);

// calendly.<endpoint_name>.<method_name>

Each endpoint returns a Promisethat resolves with the result:

calendly.users
    .getUser({ uuid: 'user-uuid' })
    .then((user) => console.log('user:', user))
    .catch((err) => console.error(err));

async/await can also be used:

try {
    const user : User = await calendly.users.getUser({ uuid: 'user-uuid' });
    console.log('user:', user))
} catch(err){
    console.error(err)
};

The Calendly API requires that you send a valid JSON string in the request body or request parameters. For example, the request parameters to List Events should be:

    https://api-endpoint/?count=20&sort=asc

When using the module node-calendly you don't have to specify the full request path as the module automatically wraps the provided data. Using the above example this translates to:

calendly.scheduledEvents
    .listEvents({
        count: 20,
        sort: 'asc'
    })
    .then((events) => console.log('events:', events))
    .catch((error) => console.error('error:', error));

Similarly, the Calendly API returns different response body information like pagination and collection.

The module node-calendly automatically unwraps the parsed object and returns:

{
    "collection": [
        {
            "uri": "uri",
            "name": "30 mins initial call",
            "location": {
                "type": "outbound_call",
                "location": "[phone]"
            }
            ...
        }
    ],
    "pagination": {
        "count": 200,
        "next_page": "next page"
        ...
    }
}

This behaviour is valid for all resources.

Pagination

Also referred to as "cursor-based pagination", this approach is how calendly handles pagination for all API endpoints that can return a collection of multiple resources. Unlike offset-limit pagination, this approach allows to provide accurate data to users, despite resources possibly being added/removed to the collection on subsequent page retrievals.

When calling an endpoint that returns a collection of multiple resources, you will have a pagination object in the response. Inside of the pagination object is a next_page attribute. If there are more resources than what has been returned, the next_page attribute will contain the URL to the next page of resources; otherwise, next_page will be null:

Pagination in Calendly API version v2.0.0 and above can be done as shown in the following example:

(async () => {
    calendly.getOrganizationUri().then(async (uri) => {
        let nextPageToken;

        do {
            const events: PaginationResponse<EventType> =
                await calendly.scheduledEvents.listEvents({
                    organization: uri,
                    page_token: nextPageToken,
                    count: 100
                });
            console.log(events.collection);
            if (events) {
                nextPageToken = events.pagination.next_page_token;
            }
        } while (nextPageToken);
    });
})().catch(console.error);

Each set of results have the nextPageToken and previous_page_token properties. These properties specify respectively the parameters needed to fetch the next and previous page of results.
