---

getEndTime()

Gets the date and time at which this calendar event ends. You must have access to the calendar. For non–all-day events, this is the instant in time at which the event was defined to end. For all-day events, which only store an end date (not a date and time), this is midnight at the beginning of the day after the event ends in the calendar's time zone. This allows meaningful comparison of end times for all types of events; however, it does not necessarily preserve the original day-of-year unmodified.

For all-day events, getAllDayEndDate() should almost always be called in preference to this method.

// Opens the calendar by its ID.
// TODO(developer): Replace the ID with your own.
const calendar = CalendarApp.getCalendarById('[e-mail]');

// Gets the first event from the calendar for February 1st, 2023 that takes place
// between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM.
const event =
  calendar.getEvents(new Date('Feb 01, 2023 16:00:00'), new Date('Feb 01, 2023 17:00:00'))[0];

 // If an event exists within the given time frame, gets the date and time at which the
 // event ends and logs it.
 console.log(event.getEndTime());
} else {
 // If no event exists within the given time frame, logs that info to the console.
 console.log('No events exist for the specified range');

Return

Date — this calendar event's end time

getEventSeries()

Gets the series of recurring events that this event belongs to. You must have access to the calendar. A CalendarEventSeries object is returned even if this event doesn't belong to a series, so that you can add new recurrence settings.

// Opens the calendar by its ID.
// TODO(developer): Replace the ID with your own.
const calendar = CalendarApp.getCalendarById('[e-mail]');

// Gets the first event from the calendar for February 18th, 2023 that takes place between

if (event) {
 // If an event exists within the given time frame, gets the event series for the event
 // and sets the color to pale green.
 event.getEventSeries().setColor(CalendarApp.EventColor.PALE_GREEN);
} else {
 // If no event exists within the given time frame, logs that information to the console.
 console.log('No events exist for the specified range');

CalendarEventSeries — the event series this event belongs to, or a new event series if it does not yet belong to a series

getId()

Gets the unique iCalUID of the event. Note that the iCalUID and the event id used by the Calendar v3 API and Calendar advanced service are not identical and cannot be used interchangeably.
