How to Efficiently Fetch Events from Multiple Calendar IDs Using Kloudless

If you're using Kloudless to manage multiple Google Calendar IDs, you might find yourself facing the challenge of needing to retrieve events from several calendars simultaneously. This is a common scenario, especially for businesses or individuals who manage multiple projects or share calendars with different teams. In this guide, we’ll explore a solution to this challenge and discuss potential improvements coming to the Kloudless API.

The Challenge

When working with multiple calendars, many users might resort to making multiple API requests to Kloudless. For example, the current process involves using CURL calls similar to:

While this approach works, it is not the most efficient method since it requires several separate requests to fetch events from all the desired calendar IDs.

Current Limitations of Kloudless API

As of now, the Kloudless API does not support batch requests. This means that users have to create individual requests for each calendar ID they wish to access. According to a Kloudless representative:

Batch Requests Not Supported: Currently, Kloudless does not allow fetching events from multiple calendar IDs in a single request.

Mapping to Upstream Requests: Each API request to Kloudless maps one-to-one to upstream requests to the Google Calendar service.

What’s Being Done About It?

The Kloudless team acknowledges this limitation and is actively considering improvements. The absence of batch requests has been noted, and here are a few points about what you can expect in terms of future updates:

Tracking Improvements: The suggestion for batch requests has been tracked in Kloudless’s backlog, demonstrating that the team is aware of user needs.

Future Notification: Users can expect to be informed once batch requests are implemented, which will streamline the process of fetching events across multiple calendars.

Conclusion

While the current setup requires developers to make multiple requests to fetch events from different calendar IDs, there is hope on the horizon. By keeping an eye on future API updates from Kloudless, you can look forward to a more efficient approach. For now, if you're managing multiple Google Calendar IDs, consider continuing with separate requests while staying tuned for batch request functionality that could significantly enhance your workflow.

If you have any further questions or need assistance with using Kloudless, don't hesitate to reach out to their support team. They are always ready to help you make the most out of their API.
