iCal (.ics) Event Generator input — configure the options in the Apify Console

What it does

Generates RFC-5545 .ics events with title, times, location, description and URL.
Supports all-day, recurring (RRULE), alarms/reminders and organizers.
One file per event and a combined calendar.ics.

Use cases

{ "events": [
  { "title": "Team standup", "start": "2026-09-01T09:00:00Z", "durationMinutes": 30, "rrule": "FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR", "alarmsMinutesBefore": [10] },
  { "title": "Company holiday", "start": "2026-12-25", "allDay": true }

Output

iCal (.ics) Event Generator output — the results as a clean dataset

{ "title": "Team standup", "start": "2026-09-01T09:00:00Z", "end": null, "icsUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/.../records/event-0001.ics", "ok": true }

`title`	string	Event title.
`start`	string	Event start (as given).
`end`	string	Event end (if provided).
`icsUrl`	string (URL)	Link to the event's .ics file.

FAQ

Do recurring events work? Yes — pass an rrule like FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=MO.

How do I import the whole schedule? Use the combined calendar.ics in the key-value store.

Can I automate it? Yes — via integrations on the Apify platform and the Apify API.

Notes

Original clean-room implementation. Times are handled in UTC.
