Can someone help me with this?

There was an issue about that log error a couple months ago… related to an intermittent problem with empty calendars. I don’t know if it was fixed yet.
Make sure there is at least one event in your calendar(s) within the time frame of fetchDaysPast - fetchDays, restart the addon. Remember that the sensor only sends a fetch request based on your fetchCron time configuration variable. If you use the default, that means it will fetch on the hour and at half-past. Sometimes the first fetch after restart fails, so let it run uninterrupted through at least 2 fetch cycles.
Hi,
Thank you for your response.
In attachment you see my calendar to test and also my settings.
If I understand you correctly, the add-on will retrieve the data from the calendar every 30 minutes? Is that correct?
After waiting 30 minutes I get this in the log:

Hello everyone,
For me it works now.
But the “caldavUrl:” setting should not be
“https://pXX-caldav.icloud.com/{DSid}/calendars/{pGUID}” or
“https://pXX-caldav.icloud.com/{DSid}/calendars/{calendarName}”
but
“https://pXX-caldav.icloud.com/{DSid}/calendars/{GUID}”.
This way I receive all data very well.
However, if I
https://pXX-caldav.icloud.com/{DSid}/calendars/{pGUID} or
“https://pXX-caldav.icloud.com/{DSid}/calendars/{calendarName}”
I keep getting
´´´´
axios error: [object Object]Request failed with status code 404
´´´´
error message.
At least this way it works for me!!
Thank you to all the people who gave me a little feedback!!
I am trying to use your code and I am struggling to have the sensor populate with anything. On restart, I get the agenda sensor but its empty. Following the RESTful documentation, I used the same details and used cURL and that returned calendar events. Here is what I I have in my config
- platform: rest
resource: https://myurl.com/api/calendars/calendar.calendar_me
name: Agenda
unique_id: calendar_agenda
method: GET
scan_interval: 900
headers:
authorization: !secret rest_events_token
params:
start: >
{{ utcnow().strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z') }}
end: >
{{ (utcnow() + timedelta(days=5)).strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z') }}
value_template: >
{% set events = value_json %}
{% for event in events %}
{% if event.start.dateTime %}
{{ (event.start.dateTime | as_datetime).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M') }}: {{ event.summary }}
{% else %}
{{ event.start.date }}: {{ event.summary }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
I have a calendar and it has events in the last 5 days and next 5 days. I’ve set up a long-term token in my secret file, I’ve checked the logs and there is nothing in there on this.
I used this command from the docs (modifying for my instance)
curl \
-H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
"https://myurl.com/api/calendars/calendar.calendar_me?start=2022-05-01T07:00:00.000Z&end=2022-06-12T07:00:00.000Z"
and it returns events.
Have I missed a vital step? I’d really appreciate a steer.
Thanks in advance.
This looks very similar. I’m not sure what the problem is from spot checking, but maybe I can suggest a couple things.
- turn up debug logging for the rest component
homeassistant.components.restand see if there are any details in the logs about failed requests - make the template return “foo” to confirm its running
- set the return value to " {{ value_json }} " and you can dump the whole thing and make sure that is working
Perfect - thanks for the pointer
Seems we finally got something to ask for data using in automation. In our case calendar data. See 2023.7: Beta release notes - Home Assistant
Yep! This is meant to address this problem, but in the works for awhile now and happy to get it out!

Good job Allen. Thanks!
calendar.list_events- This service allows you to ask Home Assistant for a list of events on your calendar.
Yes! I scrolled all the way through this post hoping for an answer, and it’s just a few days from release! Very happy to see this added. 
Is there a way of merging responses from multiple calendars ?
You’ll have to send separate calls for each calendar. Perhaps you can merge the events lists? I have not tried this
I made this script, for german language, using the new calender.list_events feature, maybe it helps as a starting point for other people.
@ allenporter thx for this new feature. Unfortunately your featured Blueprint did not work correctly.
Start-End: {% if event.start is defined %}{{ event.start }} to {{ event.end }}{% else %}All Day{% endif %}
did not work, because event start and end is always defined, at least for google calendar. My workaround was to check whether an event lasts exactly 86400 seconds = 1 day, in this case it’s an “All Day” event.

If you’re interested, you can simplify the template’s arithmetic if you convert the values of event.start and event.end to datetime objects.

I’m really at a loss for proper documentation, of how HA jinja2 works, seems very stupid to me, why not normal javascript. Whatever.
