How to Get Ics Files From External Shared Calendars
There can be some scenarios where you require to have all your shared calendars in a .ics
file. In my case, it was the need to have the MLH calendar, that the staff shared to us, shared with my agenda in Spacemacs.
For doing this, I had to follow the next steps.
Get the link
Inside the configuration of the shared calendar, you have to get the calendar public URL.
Get the Calendar Id
Now you have to get src
part from the url, for example, if the original url was
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=en-gb.christian%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe%2FParis
en-gb.christian%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com
Join the Calendar Id with the Calendar feed
The calendar feed usual structure is the following:
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/**********/public/basic.ics
You need to replace the *
with the url you got in the step 2. In this case, it will end as the following.
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/en-gb.christian%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics
Download the ics file
Now that you have the file URL, you can download it using wget
.
wget -O my_cal.ics https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/en-gb.christian%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics
