I would like to find a way to output a list of available appointments from Calendar, based on selecting a date or range of dates, and being able to specify the calendars that I want to pull appointment data from.
The output should be something like this, that can be emailed or texted.
I am free on 7/28/17 between:
Start of day - 7:00 AM
7:15 AM - 9:30 AM
10:00 AM - 10:30 AM
12:00 PM - End of day
I found pretty much what I wanted in Workflow, an automation tool is iOS, but wondered if there was a way to accomplish this using AppleScript and KM. (workflow.is is their url)
A few screen captures are below of that workflow. I looked for a Calendar AppleScript dictionary, but did not find one. I use BusyCal, and found some documentation https://support.busymac.com/help/70621-url-handler but since all my appointments are replicated in Calendar, it might be easier.
Actually, I think Calendar provides good support for scripting.
You might do a Google search on "applescript calendar", where you will find a number of hits.
In particular you might be interested in CalendarLib. This is a script library, with examples, written by @ShaneStanley. Although I have not used this particular library, I can vouch for Shane as being one of the world's best, most experienced, AppleScript developer.
Sorry I can't offer more, but I rarely use Apple Calendar.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes.
that uses the library mentioned by @JMichaelTX. It got me most of the way, outputting a text file of all my appointments, but not my available times (the space between appointments). I created a macro to parse the output to give me the available times.
Next steps are to modify to use AM/PM for times and also to ask user input for Timezone to adjust the available times. Any suggestions on how to improve are helpful! Also noted that the last day I am not getting the last available slot due to my logic if comparing present day vs yesterday, but I can live with that for now.
The output is currently like this:
This is my current availability, in Mountain Time:
