attachments
array[object (EventAttachment) {5}] 
optional

In order to modify attachments the supportsAttachments request parameter should be set to true.
There can be at most 25 attachments per event,
attendees
array[object (EventAttendee) {10}] 
optional
The attendees of the event. See the Events with attendees guide for more information on scheduling events with other calendar users. Service accounts need to use domain-wide delegation of authority to populate the attendee list.
attendeesOmitted
boolean 
optional
Whether attendees may have been omitted from the event's representation. When retrieving an event, this may be due to a restriction specified by the maxAttendee query parameter. When updating an event, this can be used to only update the participant's response. Optional. The default is False.

colorId
string 
optional
The color of the event. This is an ID referring to an entry in the event section of the colors definition (see the colors endpoint). Optional.
conferenceData
object (ConferenceData) 
optional

"workingLocation" - A working location event. Developer Preview.
Default:
default
extendedProperties
object 
optional

htmlLink
string 
optional
An absolute link to this event in the Google Calendar Web UI. Read-only.
iCalUID
string 
optional
Event unique identifier as defined in RFC5545. It is used to uniquely identify events accross calendaring systems and must be supplied when importing events via the import method.
Note that the iCalUID and the id are not identical and only one of them should be supplied at event creation time. One difference in their semantics is that in recurring events, all occurrences of one event have different ids while they all share the same iCalUIDs. To retrieve an event using its iCalUID, call the events.list method using the iCalUID parameter. To retrieve an event using its id, call the events.get method.
id
string 
optional
Opaque identifier of the event. When creating new single or recurring events, you can specify their IDs. Provided IDs must follow these rules:
characters allowed in the ID are those used in base32hex encoding, i.e. lowercase letters a-v and digits 0-9, see section 3.1.2 in RFC2938
the length of the ID must be between 5 and 1024 characters
the ID must be unique per calendar Due to the globally distributed nature of the system, we cannot guarantee that ID collisions will be detected at event creation time. To minimize the risk of collisions we recommend using an established UUID algorithm such as one described in RFC4122.
If you do not specify an ID, it will be automatically generated by the server.
Note that the icalUID and the id are not identical and only one of them should be supplied at event creation time. One difference in their semantics is that in recurring events, all occurrences of one event have different ids while they all share the same icalUIDs.
kind
string 
optional
Type of the resource ("calendar#event").
Default:
calendar#event
location
string 
optional
Geographic location of the event as free-form text. Optional.
locked
boolean 
optional
Whether this is a locked event copy where no changes can be made to the main event fields "summary", "description", "location", "start", "end" or "recurrence". The default is False. Read-Only.
Default:
false
organizer
object 
optional
The organizer of the event. If the organizer is also an attendee, this is indicated with a separate entry in attendees with the organizer field set to True. To change the organizer, use the move operation. Read-only, except when importing an event.
originalStartTime
object (EventDateTime) 
optional
For an instance of a recurring event, this is the time at which this event would start according to the recurrence data in the recurring event identified by recurringEventId. It uniquely identifies the instance within the recurring event series even if the instance was moved to a different time. Immutable.
privateCopy
boolean 
optional
If set to True, Event propagation is disabled. Note that it is not the same thing as Private event properties. Optional. Immutable. The default is False.
Default:
false
recurrence
array[string]
optional
List of RRULE, EXRULE, RDATE and EXDATE lines for a recurring event, as specified in RFC5545. Note that DTSTART and DTEND lines are not allowed in this field; event start and end times are specified in the start and end fields. This field is omitted for single events or instances of recurring events.
recurringEventId
string 
optional
For an instance of a recurring event, this is the id of the recurring event to which this instance belongs. Immutable.
reminders
object 
optional
Information about the event's reminders for the authenticated user.
sequence
integer <int32>
optional
Sequence number as per iCalendar.
source
object 
optional
Source from which the event was created. For example, a web page, an email message or any document identifiable by an URL with HTTP or HTTPS scheme. Can only be seen or modified by the creator of the event.
start
object (EventDateTime) 
optional
The (inclusive) start time of the event. For a recurring event, this is the start time of the first instance.
status
string 
optional
Status of the event. Optional. Possible values are:
"confirmed" - The event is confirmed. This is the default status.
"tentative" - The event is tentatively confirmed.
"cancelled" - The event is cancelled (deleted). The list method returns cancelled events only on incremental sync (when syncToken or updatedMin are specified) or if the showDeleted flag is set to true. The get method always returns them.
A cancelled status represents two different states depending on the event type:
Cancelled exceptions of an uncancelled recurring event indicate that this instance should no longer be presented to the user. Clients should store these events for the lifetime of the parent recurring event.
Cancelled exceptions are only guaranteed to have values for the id, recurringEventId and originalStartTime fields populated. The other fields might be empty.
All other cancelled events represent deleted events. Clients should remove their locally synced copies. Such cancelled events will eventually disappear, so do not rely on them being available indefinitely.
Deleted events are only guaranteed to have the id field populated. On the organizer's calendar, cancelled events continue to expose event details (summary, location, etc.) so that they can be restored (undeleted). Similarly, the events to which the user was invited and that they manually removed continue to provide details. However, incremental sync requests with showDeleted set to false will not return these details.
If an event changes its organizer (for example via the move operation) and the original organizer is not on the attendee list, it will leave behind a cancelled event where only the id field is guaranteed to be populated.
