Is there direct API for Google Meet?

Question

Is there any API for creating a new meeting in Google Meet ? There is button Create new meeting on https://meet.google.com/ and I want to do something similar

Answer 1

For your specific purpose of creating a Google Meet meeting with an API call without using the Google Calendar API I am afraid there is no other Google API service to achieve this at the moment of this answer.

I hope this has helped you. Let me know if you need anything else or if you did not understood something. :)

Answer 2

add "conferenceData": { "createRequest": { "requestId": "7qxalsvy0e" } },

inside your events while creating an event using google calendar API v3 a google meet link will automatically be created

Answer 3

This is a bit of a hack, but you can create a new meeting using the Google Calendar API.

API Documentation: https://developers.google.com/calendar/v3/reference/events?hl=en_US

Google blog post (when Meet was Hangouts Meet): https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/application-development/hangouts-meet-now-available-in-google

In the request you can configure the conference details (i.e. Google Meet settings) and retrieve a meeting ID.

The only caveat, which is a big one, is the new Google Meet will be tied to the calendar that the API is authenticated against. Depending on who you want the meeting to be available to you'll probably have to play around with the permissions some.

Answer 4

there is no direct api for google meet for now, but through the help of the google calendar api I have created a npm package that can be used to create meeting directly it gives you the google meeting links instantly.

Answer 5

Try http://g.co/meet/yourmeetingname. This redirects to the same meeting URL if they're on the same Google Apps account.

Answer 6

It is now possible to create a new meet by going to this url: http://meet.google.com/new

That being said, it's not immediately obvious how you could get the link for the generated meet.
