Use `https://api.aurinko.io/v1`. Several cURL examples in the docs print `https:/api.aurinko.io` with one slash\n2. Send `If-Match` with the event's `etag` on `PATCH /v1/calendars/{calendarId}/events/{eventId}`. A stale value returns 412\n3. Use `primary` as the calendar ID for an account's main calendar, and page with `pageToken` until none is returned\n4. Hold a slot with `reserveForMinutes` on the booking `meeting` call, then confirm or cancel the reservation, since no idempotency key exists\n5. Retry 429, 408 and 5xx with exponential backoff. Do not retry 404. A 429 can come from Google or Microsoft limits behind the API\n\n### Microsoft Graph Calendar API\n\n1. Send `Prefer: outlook.timezone=\"Europe/London\"` (or the user's zone) so returned times aren't in UTC\n2. Set a `transactionId` on event creates so a retry doesn't double-book\n3. Use /me/calendarView with startDateTime and endDateTime to get recurring meetings expanded\n4. Honour `Retry-After` on 429 and keep to 4 parallel calls per mailbox\n5. Ask for Calendars.ReadBasic when you don't need event bodies\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Aurinko Calendar API or Microsoft Graph Calendar API?\n\nMicrosoft Graph Calendar API scores 65.1 (B) on agent readiness against Aurinko Calendar API's 45.6 (E), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Aurinko Calendar API leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Aurinko Calendar API and Microsoft Graph Calendar API need an API key?\n\nBoth use an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Aurinko Calendar API and Microsoft Graph Calendar API without installing anything?\n\nYes.
