Calendar API Integration: Real-Time Events, Free/Busy, Scheduling Links & Meeting Recordings Across Platforms
Blog post from Unified.to
The Unified Calendar API offers a streamlined, real-time solution for integrating scheduling data across various platforms like Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Apple iCloud, and more, without the need for separate integrations for each service. It normalizes and provides a consistent interface for managing calendars, events, free/busy availability, scheduling links, meeting recordings, and webinars, ensuring immediate and direct execution against source platforms without storing any calendar data. By standardizing six primary objects—Calendar, Event, Busy, Link, Recording, and Webinar—the API enables efficient cross-platform functionality while maintaining rigorous data security and privacy measures, including zero data storage and encryption in transit. It supports real-time updates through native and virtual webhooks and ensures compatibility with various compliance standards like GDPR and HIPAA. This comprehensive approach allows developers to build and manage scheduling features efficiently without dealing with the inherent complexity of individual calendar systems.
