Command

nylas calendar events show

The nylas calendar events show command displays all details for a single event: title, start/end times, location, description, attendees with RSVP status, recurrence rules, and conferencing links. Use --json to extract specific fields with jq. Works with Google Calendar, Outlook, Exchange, Yahoo, iCloud, and IMAP providers.

Flag	Description
--json	Output as JSON

Troubleshooting

Event not found

Verify the event ID with nylas calendar events list --json. IDs are provider-specific and may differ from what you see in the web UI.

Missing fields in output

Some providers don't return all fields. For example, Yahoo calendars may not include conferencing links. Use --json to see the raw response.
