If I go here:

https://developer.calendly.com/api-docs/2d5ed9bbd2952-list-events

The page never mentions a UUID. I cannot find a reference to the UUID anywhere in any of the descriptive text, and yet it is listed as a required parameter when asking for the invitees.

Hi there,

Thanks for your detailed post—happy to help clarify the steps for retrieving event and invitee data using the Calendly API.

Step 1: List Scheduled Events (not Event Types)

It looks like you're currently calling the /event_types endpoint, which returns event templates—not actual scheduled bookings. To retrieve the actual events that occurred (including those with external invitees), you’ll want to use:

GET https://api.calendly.com/scheduled_events

Include query parameters like organization= or user= along with a min_start_time and max_start_time to filter by date range. Example:

curl --request GET \
  --url "https://api.calendly.com/scheduled_events?organization=https://api.calendly.com/organizations/{org_uuid}&min_start_time=2025-01-01T00:00:00Z&max_start_time=2025-06-30T23:59:59Z" \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer {your_token}' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json'

This will return a list of scheduled event objects, each with a unique uri and uuid.

Step 2: List Invitees for a Scheduled Event

Once you have the UUIDs from /scheduled_events, you can fetch the list of invitees per event using:

GET /scheduled_events/{uuid}/invitees

Important: Remove the organization= query param—this endpoint doesn’t require it. Example:

curl --request GET \
  --url "https://api.calendly.com/scheduled_events/{event_uuid}/invitees" \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer {your_token}' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json'

If you’re getting a Resource not found error, double-check that:

• The uuid you’re using came from /scheduled_events, not /event_types

• Your token has access to the organization or user tied to the event

Tip: Use Pagination

Both endpoints use pagination, so make sure to follow the next_page URL in the response to retrieve all records.

If you’d like help reviewing your API token permissions or need a walkthrough, feel free to chat with our Support team at calendly.com/contact—we’re happy to assist further.

Hope this clears things up!

But if I use the external_id field then I get: 

{"title":"Resource Not Found","message":"The server could not find the requested resource."}

making this call, with the external_id from above:

curl --request GET \
  --url "https://api.calendly.com/scheduled_events/8pv58mskifkj5st9o6m2qqde74/invitees?organization=https://api.calendly.com/organizations/DCFERasdasdasdasd7OLC" \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer eyJraWQiOiIxY2UxZTEzNjE3ZGNmNzY2YjNjZWJjY2Y4ZGM1YmFmYThhNjVlNjg0MDIzZjdjMzJiZTgzNDliMjM4MDEzNWI0IiwidHlasdasdasdasdasQxLTRlMzUtYmQxMy03ZTBhNWIwNDk2MjciLCJ1c2VyX3V1aWQiOiJBSEhCasdasdasdElEQVJMWkU3In0.jsvcK0mRkCdIF87BJ7UxVaHfQDWClDc-QEIl-PyYuXYVm95wDIWR4r-_Xw7IwLp_18Q-amd8BGmsa5deb0P9qw' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json'
 

I also removed the “organization” parameter, but I still get “resource not found”.

My other post never showed up? I posted the JSON so that you could see what I was getting. It did not have a field called “uuid”. It did have a field called “external_id” but that does not seem to work. 

Again, this is the JSON that comes back. It does not have a field called “uuid”.
