Accessing API in custom component from import of component

Third party integrations

There is an API to fetch calendar events using a bearer token at

http://homeassistant:8123/api/calendars/calendar.name?start=2019-12-09T00:00:00Z&end=2019-12-10T00:00:00Z

If I wanna do this internally in the custom component I’m building I have got the information that I should import the calendar component. Im struggling how to utilize this component to fetch the same data as I did with the HTTP API.

There is also the Google Calendar component, is it that one I should use instead since Im only doing google calendar data?

How would I fetch the same data as doing with the API but with the imported component?

Thank you

If you’re in a custom_component, and you already have the google calendar component loaded, can’t you just get the information you need from the calendar entity state and attributes?

The calendar entity and attributes just show the next upcoming event, I wanna be able to fetch for specific dates etc.

I had no idea Home Assistant kept all of that data and made it available via API.

Hopefully, you’ll find what you’re looking for in the component.

Yeah, but I can’t find documentation on how to use it without calling the HTTP address in a custom component. Thank you anyway @swiftlyfalling
