Get the next instance of recurring events with the Google Calendar API v3

Question

I am trying to get the events in my calendar over a date range (single or recurring events alike). Now I will not necessarily know the exact datetime for the next instance of a recurring event as . For recurring events I want the date of the next occurrence rather than the date of the first instance as I am getting with the request below. How do I do this?

https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/{calendarid}/events?fields=items(id,summary,start)&key={APIkey}&timeMax={enddate}&timeMin={startdate}

Answer 1

Add in the URL parameter singleEvents=True. This will expand all recurring events into their individual items. There isn't any way to specifically get just the second event in a series if you don't already know when it is, but using that parameter will let you parse out all instances and get the one you want.
