Creating team calendar event using REST API

[Hansoo Bae]

Is team calendar supporting REST API for creating events? 

I want to create event in team calendar, like Sprints or JIRA tasks(issues) automatically.

Is there any way to do this? 

I could not find any API documentation.

Providing a REST API is one of the longest standing and most popular issues with Team Calendars still - please vote/watch/comment on the following story to further raise awareness for this surprising limitation:

Thanks. I voted for this issue!

For anyone who stumbles across this post looking for answers (like me), the following Python was what I eventually got working.

import requests

import json

import datetime
baseURI = 'http://localhost:8090/'
resource = 'rest/calendar-services/1.0/calendar/events.json'
headers = { "content-type" : "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" }
data = {"subCalendarId":'calendar-id (can find by viewing calendar in space and clicking on calendar name)',
        "eventType":'Events', 
        "what":'Fridays Meeting', 
        "person": ['userkey (can find using http://localhost:8090/rest/api/user?username=someusername)'],
        "startDate": '06-Jun-2019',
        "startTime": '10:00',
        "endDate": '06-Jun-2019',
        "endTime": '11:00',
        "allDayEvent": "false",
        "where": 'Blue Room'}

response = requests.put(baseURI + resource, headers=headers, auth=('user', 'password'), data=data, timeout=15)
print('\n\n\n')
print(response)
print(response.text)

Happy coding!
