## API Resources

### acl

- `delete` — Deletes an access control rule.
- `get` — Returns an access control rule.
- `insert` — Creates an access control rule.
- `list` — Returns the rules in the access control list for the calendar.
- `patch` — Updates an access control rule. This method supports patch semantics.
- `update` — Updates an access control rule.
- `watch` — Watch for changes to ACL resources.

### calendarList

- `delete` — Removes a calendar from the user's calendar list.
- `get` — Returns a calendar from the user's calendar list.
- `insert` — Inserts an existing calendar into the user's calendar list.
- `list` — Returns the calendars on the user's calendar list.
- `patch` — Updates an existing calendar on the user's calendar list. This method supports patch semantics.

### calendars

- `clear` — Clears a primary calendar. This operation deletes all events associated with the primary calendar of an account.
- `delete` — Deletes a secondary calendar. Use calendars.clear for clearing all events on primary calendars.
- `get` — Returns metadata for a calendar.
- `insert` — Creates a secondary calendar.
  The authenticated user for the request is made the data owner of the new calendar.

Note: We recommend to authenticate as the intended data owner of the calendar. You can use domain-wide delegation of authority to allow applications to act on behalf of a specific user. Don't use a service account for authentication. If you use a service account for authentication, the service account is the data owner, which can lead to unexpected behavior.

- `patch` — Updates metadata for a calendar. This method supports patch semantics.
- `update` — Updates metadata for a calendar.

### channels

- `stop` — Stop watching resources through this channel

### colors

- `get` — Returns the color definitions for calendars and events.

### events

- `delete` — Deletes an event.
- `get` — Returns an event based on its Google Calendar ID. To retrieve an event using its iCalendar ID, call the events.list method using the iCalUID parameter.
- `import` — Imports an event. This operation is used to add a private copy of an existing event to a calendar. Only events with an eventType of default may be imported.
  Deprecated behavior: If a non-default event is imported, its type will be changed to default and any event-type-specific properties it may have will be dropped.
- `insert` — Creates an event.
- `instances` — Returns instances of the specified recurring event.
- `list` — Returns events on the specified calendar.

## Discovering Commands

Before calling any API method, inspect it:

```bash
# Browse resources and methods
gws calendar --help

# Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults
gws schema calendar.<resource>.<method>
```

Use `gws schema` output to build your `--params` and `--json` flags.
