How we can make event on google calander in such way that anyone with link can join.

How we can make event on google calander in such way that anyone with link can join.Now when we create calander event via GUI we have :

We can select Meeting access type as OPEN and anyone with meet link can join but how we can do via our googleapis pkg?anyone plz.
I am using this code snippet to create google calander event.

const { JWT } = require("google-auth-library");
const { calendar_v3 } = require("@googleapis/calendar");
const Calander = calendar_v3.Calendar;
const credential = require("./service-account.json");

const createEvent = async () => {
  try {
    const requestId = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100000);

    const auth = new JWT(
      credential.client_email,
      null,
      credential.private_key,
      ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar"],
      "admin@email.app",
      credential.client_id
    );

    const calendar = new Calander({ version: "v3", auth });

    const event = {
      summary: "Appointment",
      description: "Meeting with client",
      start: {
        dateTime: "2023-08-01T12:00:00",
        timeZone: "Asia/Karachi",
      },
      end: {
        dateTime: "2023-08-03T12:30:00",
        timeZone: "Asia/Karachi",
      },
      anyoneCanAddSelf: true,
      conferenceData: {
        createRequest: {
          requestId,
          conferenceSolutionKey: {
            type: "hangoutsMeet",
          },
        },
      },
      attendees: [],
    };

    const response = await calendar.events.insert({
      calendarId: "primary",
      resource: event,
      conferenceDataVersion: 1,
    });

    console.log("Google Meet link: %s", response.data.hangoutLink);

    return;
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
};

@MOIN-AKHTAR I'm looking for an answer to this too, still. Did you find out how to do it?

[matheusschreiber]

I managed to do it for my personal project without dealing with Google Workspace, by creating a new space and then adding it to the event location.

PS.: I'm using the Python SDK

# Creating the meeting in Spaces
credentials = Credentials.from_service_account_file("path/to/credentials.json", scopes=SCOPES)
service_meet = build("meet", "v2", credentials=credentials)
meet_space = service_meet.spaces().create(
    body={
        "config": {
            "accessType": "OPEN"
        }
    }
).execute()

# Adding the link to the event template
meet_link = meet_space.get("meetingUrl")
event_template = {**event_template, 'location': link_meet}

# Update the event
service_calendar = build("calendar", "v3", credentials=credentials)
response = service_calendar.events().patch(
    calendarId='<calendar_id>',
    eventId='<event_id>',
    body=event_template,
).execute()

The downside here is that this button Join with Google Meet is no longer available on the event because the Google Meet room is not in the conference data. Or at least thats what I think is causing it.
