EGroupware REST API for Calendar

Authentication is via Basic Auth with username and a password, or a token valid for:

  • either just the given user or all users
  • CalDAV/CardDAV Sync (REST API)
  • Calendar application

Following RFCs / drafts used/planned for JSON encoding of resources

Supported request methods and examples

  • GET to collections with an Accept: application/json header return all resources (similar to WebDAV PROPFIND)
Example: Getting all entries of a given users calendar 
curl https://example.org/egroupware/groupdav.php/<username>/calendar/ -H "Accept: application/pretty+json" --user <username>

following GET parameters are supported to customize the returned properties:

  • props[]= eg. props[]=getetag to return only the ETAG (multiple DAV properties can be specified) Default for calendar collections is to only return calendar-data (JsEvent), other collections return all props.
  • sync-token= to only request change since last sync-token, like rfc6578 sync-collection REPORT
  • nresults=N limit number of responses (only for sync-collection / given sync-token parameter!) this will return a "more-results"=true attribute and a new "sync-token" attribute to query for the next chunk

Examples: see addressbook

  • GET requests with an Accept: application/json header can be used to retrieve single resources / JsContact or JsCalendar schema
Example: GET request for a single resource 
curl 'https://example.org/egroupware/groupdav.php/calendar/6502' -H "Accept: application/pretty+json" --user <username>

  • POST requests to collection with a Content-Type: application/json header add new entries in addressbook or calendar collections (Location header in response gives URL of new resource)
Example: POST request to create a new resource and use "Prefer: return=representation" to get it fully expanded back 
cat <<EOF | curl -i 'https://example.org/egroupware/groupdav.php/<username>/calendar/' -X POST -d @- -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Prefer: return=representation" --user <username>

  • PUT requests with a Content-Type: application/json header allow modifying single resources (requires to specify all attributes!)
Example: PUT request with UID to update an existing resource or create it, if not exists

  • PATCH request with a Content-Type: application/json header allow to modify a single resource by only specifying changed attributes as a PatchObject
Example: PATCH request to modify an event with partial data
