Google Calendar API - Recurring Event Instances Not Displaying

Question

I am trying to retrieve all events from a Google calendar using the V3 API. I noticed a problem with repeating events. For some recurring events on some calendars, only the first copies are retrieved (for example, the first 5 of 8 copies are selected).

Some additional information:

• I double-checked the correct date range of the request.

• The problem has occurred several times - for different Google Apps organizations.

• The problem also occurs if I try to retrieve events from the calendar of the event creator.
• We use the Google python library to extract.

Any inputs would be appreciated. Thanks!

You must set the "singleEvents" flag to "True" when you call the API List command.

From the API documentation:

Whether to propagate repeating events to instances and return only one-time events and instances of repeating events, but not the repeating events themselves. Optional. The default value is False.
