Use a custom URL to get a customized printable version of Google Calendar

Question

I want to print a week's worth of Google Calendar events from the command line. I figure using https://www.google.com/calendar/printable rather than some API is the easiest way to do that. I need some help with the arguments though. In the command below, what do each of the arguments mean?

https://www.google.com/calendar/printable?mode=MONTH&wkst=1&hl=en&pgsz=letter&dates=20090801%2F20100531&[email protected]&ctz=%3Csomething%3E&[email protected]&pfs=NORMAL&po=AUTO&psdec=true&pbw=false&pjs=false&rand=%3Csomething%3E&pda=true

Where is the documentation I can read up concerning this?

Argument list:

mode=
wkst=
hl=
pgsz=
dates=
src=
ctz=
src=
pfs=
po=
psdec=
pbw=
pjs=
rand=
pda=

Answer 1

I do not find any Google documentation for the parameters, but this blog post documents most of them.

• mode: Mode parameter (mode) must be either AGENDA, DAY, WEEK or MONTH
• wkst: Week start parameter (wkst) must be between 1 (Sunday) and 7
  (Saturday)
• hl: is a language code from this list
• pgsz: letter, a4 (others?)
• po: page orientation AUTO, PORTRAIT, LANDSCAPE
• ctz: time zone, eg "Europe/Amsterdam", a list of time zones is here.
• pfs: font size: SMALLEST, SMALLER, SMALL, NORMAL, BIG, BIGGER, BIGGEST
• pbw: print black and white, values are true, false
• psdec: Show events you have declined, values are true, false
• pjs: Insert “Print JavaScript” into the PDF (true) or just loads the PDF (false)
• pda: Prepare the PDF for download (true) or printing (false)
• dates: the start and ending date both ISO 8601 encoded as YYYYMMDD, separated by a / (which ends up as %2F when URL-encoded)
• src: calendar id. Pass multiple src parameters to include multiple calendars.
