Error responses #

401 Unauthorized #

The request was refused as the provided authentication credentials were not recognized.

When an OAuth refresh_token is available then it should be used to request a replacement auth_token before the request is retried.

403 Forbidden #

The request was refused as the provided authorization credentials were recognized but does not grant the delete_event scope which was required for the request.

You will need to make an additional authorization request including the delete_event scope before retrying the request.

404 Not Found #

The calendar_id provided was not recognized, or the authorization used to make the request has not been granted access to the calendar.

If the calendar does exist, you will need to make an additional authorization request including the delete_event scope, asking the user to authorize access to the calendar, before retrying the request.

422 Unprocessable #

The request was unable to be processed due to it containing invalid parameters.

The response will contain a JSON object containing one or more errors relating to the invalid parameters.

For example, if you omitted the required tzid parameter, you would receive a response like:

{
  "errors": {
    "tzid": [
      {
        "key": "errors.required",
        "description": "required"
      }
    ]
  }
}

The key field is intended for programmatic use and the description field is a human-readable equivalent.
