Generate calendar links from JSON payload.

Request Body:

{
  "title": "Team Meeting",
  "description": "Weekly team sync",
  "location": "Conference Room A",
  "startDate": "2024-01-15T10:00:00Z",
  "endDate": "2024-01-15T11:00:00Z",
  "timezone": "America/New_York"
}

Required fields: title, startDate, endDate
Optional fields: description, location, timezone

Generate calendar links from query parameters.

Example:

/api/calendar-link?title=Meeting&startDate=2024-01-15T10:00:00Z&endDate=2024-01-15T11:00:00Z&description=Team meeting&location=Conference Room A

Both endpoints return the same JSON response format:

{
  "success": true,
  "event": {
    "title": "Team Meeting",
    "description": "Weekly team sync",
    "location": "Conference Room A",
    "startDate": "2024-01-15T10:00:00Z",
    "endDate": "2024-01-15T11:00:00Z",
    "timezone": "America/New_York"
  },
  "links": {
    "google": "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/render?action=TEMPLATE&text=...",
    "apple": "data:text/calendar;charset=utf8,..."
  }
}

Use ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ (e.g., 2024-01-15T10:00:00Z)

Use the google link directly in a browser or as a redirect. Users will be taken to Google Calendar with the event pre-filled.

Use the apple link as a download link for an .ics file. This will work with Apple Calendar, Outlook, and other calendar applications that support the iCalendar format.

POST request:

curl -X POST https://your-val-url.web.val.run/api/calendar-link \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "title": "Product Demo",
    "description": "Quarterly product demonstration",
    "location": "Main Conference Room",
    "startDate": "2024-02-20T14:00:00Z",
    "endDate": "2024-02-20T15:30:00Z"
  }'

GET request:

curl "https://your-val-url.web.val.run/api/calendar-link?title=Meeting&startDate=2024-01-15T10:00:00Z&endDate=2024-01-15T11:00:00Z"

// Using fetch API
const response = await fetch('/api/calendar-link', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    title: 'Team Meeting',
    description: 'Weekly team sync',
    location: 'Conference Room A',
    startDate: '2024-01-15T10:00:00Z',
    endDate: '2024-01-15T11:00:00Z'
  })
});

const data = await response.json();

// Redirect to Google Calendar
window.location.href = data.links.google;

// Or download .ics file for Apple Calendar
const link = document.createElement('a');
link.href = data.links.apple;
link.download = 'event.ics';
link.click();

The API returns appropriate HTTP status codes and error messages:

• 400 Bad Request - Missing required fields, invalid date format, or invalid JSON
• 200 OK - Successful response with calendar links

Example error response:

{
  "error": "Missing required fields: title, startDate, and endDate are required"
}

• Built with Hono framework for fast HTTP handling
• Generates Google Calendar URLs using the official Google Calendar URL scheme
• Creates iCalendar (.ics) files for Apple Calendar compatibility
• Validates input data and provides helpful error messages
• Supports both GET and POST methods for flexibility

This API does not store any event data you submit. All event information is processed in real-time to generate calendar links and is not saved to any database or persistent storage. See the full Privacy Policy for details.
