Introducing the Official Python SDK for the Cronofy Calendar API

According to Stack Overflow, Python is one of the fastest-growing major programming languages.

That makes it no surprise that many of you have asked us for a Python SDK.

We listened to your feedback and are proud to announce that we’re releasing an officially supported Python SDK for Cronofy.

We’ve worked with our partners at VenueBook to develop a battle-tested and fully functional SDK.

‍

Show me the code!

Here’s a look at the code you need to create calendar events.

‍

import pycronofy

cronofy = pycronofy.Client(access_token=YOUR_TOKEN)

events = cronofy.read_events()
for event in events:
   print('%s (From %s to %s, %i attending)' %
       (event['summary'], event['start'], event['end'], len(event['attendees'])))

event = {
   'event_id': 'event_test_12345679',
   'summary': 'Test Event',
   'description': 'example description',
   'start': "2018-01-17T12:00:00Z",
   'end': "2018-01-17T12:30:00Z",
   'location': {
       'description': 'My Desk!',
   },
}

calendar = cronofy.list_calendars()
cal = calendar[0]

cronofy.upsert_event(calendar_id=cal['calendar_id'], event=event)
