Google Calendar Events List not returning an object

Hello,

I’m trying to get a list of events from the Calendar api. Specifically the calendar.events.list api. On the https://developers.google.com/calendar/v3/reference/events/list it states that it should return events from the calendar. When using the base code from the quickstart https://developers.google.com/calendar/quickstart/nodejs it works perfectly. But i want the listEvents function to return an object and not just console out the events. So when i change the listEvents function from

  const calendar = google.calendar({version: 'v3', auth});
  calendar.events.list({
    calendarId: 'primary',
    timeMin: (new Date()).toISOString(),
    maxResults: 10,
    singleEvents: true,
    orderBy: 'startTime',
  }, (err, res) => {
    if (err) return console.log('The API returned an error: ' + err);
    const events = res.data.items;
    if (events.length) {
      console.log('Upcoming 10 events:');
      events.map((event, i) => {
        const start = event.start.dateTime || event.start.date;
        console.log(`${start} - ${event.summary}`);
      });
    } else {
      console.log('No upcoming events found.');
    }
  });
}

to

  const calendar = google.calendar({version: 'v3', auth});
  const results = calendar.events.list({
    calendarId: 'primary',
    timeMin: (new Date()).toISOString(),
    maxResults: 10,
    singleEvents: true,
    orderBy: 'startTime',
  });
console.log(results);
}

results is just undefined. Am i missing something? Thanks in advanced.

Fixed the error. The quickstart says to use npm install googleapis@27 --save but after uninstalling it and using the most recent version it works.

The quickstart should be updated to say npm install googleapis --save instead of @27

@ericpak i am doing it in inline ediditor of dialogflow, and having the same error, can anyone help me solve this?

Hi @Smarto-Dev, Sorry for the late reply. If you’re still having issues I’d be happy to help. I solved my issue by using the updated googleapis instead of the version listed in the quickstart.
