const { google } = require("googleapis");
const auth = new google.auth.GoogleAuth({
  keyFile: "path/to/keyfile.json",
  scopes: ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar"],
});

async function createEvent() {
  const calendar = google.calendar({ version: "v3", auth });
  const event = {
    summary: "Google I/O 2023",
    location: "Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA",
    description: "A chance to hear more about Google's developer products.",
    start: {
      dateTime: "2023-05-28T09:00:00-07:00",
      timeZone: "America/Los_Angeles",
    },
    end: {
      dateTime: "2023-05-28T17:00:00-07:00",
      timeZone: "America/Los_Angeles",
    },
    reminders: {
      useDefault: true,
    },
  };
  const { data: createdEvent } = await calendar.events.insert({
    calendarId: "primary",
    resource: event,
  });
  console.log(`Event created: ${createdEvent.htmlLink}`);
}

createEvent();

In this example, we are creating an event in the primary calendar associated with the authenticated user's Google account. The googleapis.calendar module provides a client for the Google Calendar API, which we use to create the event by making a POST request to the events.insert endpoint with the relevant data. Once the event is successfully created, we log its HTML link to the console.
