Calendar API

Authenticate every request with your API key:

Authorization: Bearer cal_<your-api-key>

API keys are created from the Agents tab in the dashboard, or via the setup flow below. Each key is scoped to specific calendars with granular permissions: can_read, can_create, can_update, can_delete, can_create_invitees, and can_update_invitees.

Setup (getting an API key)

If you don't have a cal_ API key yet, use the setup flow to let the user authorize access:

Create a setup session (no auth required):

POST https://cal.limehouse.io/api/v1/setup/sessions

Response: { "token": "...", "setup_url": "https://...", "expires_at": "..." }

Direct the user to open setup_url in their browser. They will sign in, choose calendars, and configure permissions.
Poll for completion (every 3 seconds):

GET https://cal.limehouse.io/api/v1/setup/sessions/{token}/poll

Response while pending: { "status": "pending" } Response when complete: { "status": "completed", "agent_token": "cal_..." }

Store the agent_token value. This is your API key for all subsequent requests.

The setup session expires after 30 minutes. If the agent cannot make HTTP requests, direct the user to https://cal.limehouse.io/connect where they can create a key and copy it manually.

Get agent info

GET /api/v1/agent/me

Get metadata about the current agent, including its name, description, permitted calendars with per-calendar permissions, and calendars the user owns that the agent does not yet have access to (connected_calendars_without_access).

Response

{
  "id": 1,
  "name": "My Agent",
  "description": "optional description",
  "created_at": "2024-01-01T00:00:00",
  "last_used": "2024-01-02T12:00:00",
  "permitted_calendars": [
    {
      "calendar_id": 3,
      "calendar_name": "Work",
      "can_read": true,
      "can_create": false,
      "can_update": false,
      "can_delete": false,
      "can_create_invitees": false,
      "can_update_invitees": false
    }
  ],
  "connected_calendars_without_access": [
    {
      "calendar_id": 5,
      "calendar_name": "Side Projects"
    }
  ]
}

Use connected_calendars_without_access to discover calendars the agent could request access to via POST /api/v1/agent/request-permission-change.

List accessible calendars

GET /api/v1/agent/calendars

List all calendars the agent has access to, along with read/write permissions.

Response — array of calendar objects:

[
  { "id": 3, "name": "Work", "color": "#4285F4", "timezone": "America/New_York" }
]

List events

GET /api/v1/agent/events
GET /api/v1/agent/calendars/{calendar_id}/events

List events on a calendar, optionally filtered by a time range. If no calendar_id is provided, returns events from all calendars the agent has read access to. start and end accept either a full ISO 8601 datetime (e.g. "2026-03-05T00:00:00-08:00") or a date-only string (e.g. "2026-03-05") which is expanded to the full day in the user's timezone. Requires can_read. Filter results with optional query parameters.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`calendar_id`	integer	No	Filter to a specific calendar. If omitted, returns events from all readable calendars.
`start`	ISO 8601 datetime or date	No	ISO 8601 datetime for the event start. When a timezone parameter is provided, the datetime is interpreted as wall-clock time in that timezone (any UTC offset is ignored). Otherwise, include a UTC offset for non-UTC times, e.g. "2026-02-26T17:30:00-08:00". Naive datetimes (without offset) are treated as UTC. Also accepts a date-only string (e.g. "2026-03-05") which expands to start of day in the user's timezone.
`end`	ISO 8601 datetime or date	No	ISO 8601 datetime for the event end. Same timezone rules as start_time. Also accepts a date-only string which expands to end of day in the user's timezone.

Response — array of event objects:

[
  {
    "id": 42,
    "uid": "abc123",
    "calendar_id": 3,
    "summary": "Team standup",
    "description": "Daily sync",
    "location": "Conference Room A",
    "start_time": "2024-01-15T09:00:00Z",
    "end_time": "2024-01-15T09:30:00Z",
    "all_day": false,
    "recurrence_rule": null,
    "invitees": [
      {"email": "alice@example.com", "name": "Alice", "rsvp": "ACCEPTED"},
      {"email": "bob@example.com", "name": null, "rsvp": "NEEDS-ACTION"}
    ],
    "etag": "v1",
    "created_at": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "updated_at": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"
  }
]

Create an event

POST /api/v1/agent/calendars/{calendar_id}/events

Create a new event on a calendar. Requires can_create. Returns 201 Created with the new event object. If invitees is non-empty, also requires can_create_invitees.

Field	Type	Required	Description
`summary`	string	Yes	Event title (1–255 chars)
`description`	string	No	Event description
`location`	string	No	Physical address or virtual meeting link for the event.
`start_time`	ISO 8601 datetime	Yes	ISO 8601 datetime for the event start. When a timezone parameter is provided, the datetime is interpreted as wall-clock time in that timezone (any UTC offset is ignored). Otherwise, include a UTC offset for non-UTC times, e.g. "2026-02-26T17:30:00-08:00". Naive datetimes (without offset) are treated as UTC.
`end_time`	ISO 8601 datetime	Yes	ISO 8601 datetime for the event end. Same timezone rules as start_time.
`all_day`	boolean	No	Default: `false`
`timezone`	string	No	IANA timezone name (e.g. "America/Los_Angeles"). When provided, start_time and end_time are interpreted as wall-clock times in this timezone, and DST is handled automatically.

`invitees`	array	No	List of attendees. Each item: `{"email": "...", "name": "..."}`. For Google-connected calendars, Google will send invite emails (`sendUpdates=all`).

Sending invitees replaces the full attendee list (pass [] to remove all invitees).

`all_day`	boolean	Whether the event spans the full day
`timezone`	string	IANA timezone name (e.g. "America/Los_Angeles"). When provided, start_time and end_time are interpreted as wall-clock times in this timezone, and DST is handled automatically.

  "origin": "123 Home St, City",
  "destination": "456 Office Ave, City",
  "mode": "transit"
}

The user's home and work addresses are set via PUT /api/v1/auth/me/preferences with home_address and/or work_address fields.

Request a calendar connection

POST /api/v1/agent/request-calendar-connection

Request the user to connect a new calendar provider. Returns a confirmation URL that the user must visit to authorize the connection. The agent cannot connect the calendar directly — the user must click the link and approve.

Request a permission change

If a matching pending request already exists, returns 409 with the existing URL.

Tip: Call GET /api/v1/agent/me first to see which calendars the agent already has access to and which ones it doesn't (connected_calendars_without_access).
