Documented steps
Set Authorization: 'Bearer <cal_api_key>' on every request.
For the authenticated user, POST https://api.cal.com/v2/me/ooo with body {"start":"<ISO 8601 UTC datetime>","end":"<ISO 8601 UTC datetime>"} — start and end are required.
Optionally add reason (one of unspecified, vacation, travel, sick, public_holiday), toUserId (<number>, to forward/cover bookings during the OOO window), and notes (free-text).
OAuth callers need the SCHEDULE_WRITE scope for self OOO writes.
To create OOO for another user as an org admin, POST https://api.cal.com/v2/organizations/{orgId}/users/{userId}/ooo with the same body fields; this requires the ORG_SCHEDULE_WRITE scope.
Confirm the 201 response: data.id, data.uuid, data.start, data.end, and data.toUserId echo the request.
To list entries, GET https://api.cal.com/v2/me/ooo with optional take (1-250, default 250), skip (default 0), sortStart (asc/desc), and sortEnd (asc/desc).
To modify an entry, PATCH https://api.cal.com/v2/me/ooo/{oooId} with any of start, end, notes, toUserId, reason.
To remove an entry, DELETE https://api.cal.com/v2/me/ooo/{oooId} (requires SCHEDULE_WRITE).
start and end must be full ISO 8601 UTC datetimes (e.g. 2023-05-01T00:00:00.000Z), not bare dates — a plain date string is likely rejected or misinterpreted.
Three parallel OOO endpoint families exist (self /v2/me/ooo, org-admin-for-user, and team-admin-for-member); the body schema is identical, so using the wrong family for your caller's role returns 403 rather than a schema error.
toUserId must reference a valid team/org member for forwarding to work; an unrelated userId fails validation.
reason is optional and defaults to unspecified.
These OOO endpoints do not document a cal-api-version header — do not add one speculatively.
