I'm working on a project where we use the Google Calendar API to create and manage events. Our use case includes:
- Creating 30 events per week, with the number of events expected to increase in the coming months.
- For each event, we add up to 21 external guests (outside of our domain), and these guests are added progressively via event updates as they register.
- The goal is to manage group coaching sessions for clients via the API.
Problem: We are concerned about hitting [403] "Calendar usage limits exceeded" errors due to the frequency of requests, especially with the updates to add guests. We are using Google Workspace (paid), and we are unsure if this could cause a quota issue.
Questions:
- Is the risk of hitting Google Calendar API limits high in this use case?
- Are there any strategies or best practices to avoid these errors with frequent event updates?
- If the quota is exceeded, is it possible to increase the Google Calendar API limit, and how would we do that?
- If increasing the quota is not possible, what alternative solutions do you recommend to continue using the API without interruption?
Thanks for any help or experiences you can share!
