Or at least integrate it in the FreeBusy query response, to take the working hours into consideration.

https://developers.google.com/calendar/v3/reference/freebusy/query

+1, we need this for our marketplace app as well.

+1, we are looking for this and it is needed in many use cases.

+1 We need it too

+1

+1. In case it helps, here are some specific use cases where we would put to use:
* computing pager fatigue on our teams
* adjusting alert activation thresholds to reduce imposition on work-life balance.
* support tooling around scheduling and planning conversations across time zones

+1 (I love that we're requesting this basic feature, a feature Google added to their product, but not to the API. Well done)

Further love that we're still +1-ing things in 2019. 👍🏼 (+1)

+1 - without this, it renders the working hours feature somewhat useless because the only workaround is to get all users to also put busy events in their calendars for days/times where they aren't working/available.  

I would echo the comment above that suggests this would make sense as part of the freebusy API, perhaps some optional parameter that indicates that you want the working hours to also be checked against?

Google appears to be actively working on improving and promoting the working hours feature:

https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2019/09/updated-working-hours-google-calendar.html

Again, it completely devalues the functionality if internally built applications or 3rd party applications (e.g. Calendly) aren't able to access this information.

pls, pls write this API

after https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2019/09/updated-working-hours-google-calendar.html it's really needed to have api access to this data!

This would be very helpful. Hope you can get to it!

+1 It's been more than a year since OP report. Incredible how one of the most profitable companies in the world takes so long to develop a tiny feature.

We would die for this as well!

It's very difficult, correction: impossible, to design products that take wellbeing into consideration when there's no way to know the working hours of an individual.

I'd like to remind the Google Calendar API team the following quotes from the Wellbeing website (https://wellbeing.google/):
----------------
“We want to help people find the right balance and gain a sense of digital wellbeing.”
Sundar Pichai, May 2018 <------ May 2018!!!!!!!!

Optimizing our products.
We have launched a longitudinal study to better understand the effectiveness of our digital wellbeing tools in helping people achieve greater balance in their tech use. These findings will help us optimize our current offerings while inspiring brand new tools.

Inspiring designers and developers to create new tools.
We've launched Digital Wellbeing Experiments to inspire designers and developers to explore new ways of integrating digital wellbeing into their creations.

OUR ONGOING COMMITMENT
We’re working to ensure all of our products support your digital wellbeing.
---------------
Please, in the future, make sure that any wellbeing related feature is available through the API. WH is available internally for Google products but not exposed via the API for third party developers. :-(

Bad Google... ;-)

This ticket has been kicked around a few times and has been open since 2018.

Are there any plans on exposing this functionality? If so, what is the internal status?

Our users are clamoring for this as well; please expose this in the API.

Our users are requesting this as well!

Any news?

+1 - I would like to be able to retrieve the Working Hours set by a user to make interview scheduling more effective & efficient!

+1, this feature would help with determining availability to take a task among a group of our staff

+1 kind of challenging to implement custom scheduling logic without this

Having this would allow us to build many varied developer productivity tools, that could respect personal time and family life.

+1, especially for global companies and companies where employees work different shifts, this would be very helpful to keep track of each interviewer's time differences

Please +1 this Expose working hours ticket, it's currently assigned and in queue. More +1's the better

+1.  Some covid started my formerly in-person-only company is now hiring remote workers from many timezones, this is suddenly critically important for my use cases.

+1

That is a shame that this is not a priority.

Microsoft seems to have support for this in their api for Office 365: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/workinghours?view=graph-rest-1.0

+1

It'd be nice to be able to take working hours into account in Freebusy request

+1

I might understand that this is not a priority, but why is it marked as obsolete?

Is there another way to achieve the same functionality?

+1

+1, is there any possibility of a workaround if this feature is not added directly?

+1

+1

+1

+1

+1

+1

+1 Microsoft Office 365 Graph API has this - come on Google!

+1 for me as well. Also, why are we commenting on this issue if it's Won't Fix (Obsolete)? Should we be commenting somewhere else?

+1

+1   (or integrate it into the freeBusy query)

This status is marked as "Won't fix (Obsolete)", truly this continues to be absent from the interface.

+1

+1 for this! Not having access to working hours is a major blocker for us. Also, we could really use the "work location" information once that is available:
https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2021/08/share-where-youre-working-from-in.html?m=1

This is essential to our new "distributed workforce" initiatives
