How to access the Evolution calendar data from the command line?
I want to be able to access the Evolution calendar from the command line. Specifically, I'd like to be able to:
- List calendar events (the one-line summary, date and time is enough)
- Upcoming events starting today
- Events on a specific date
- Add an event on a specific date
How can I do that? Is it possible?
Google was distinctly unhelpful in this case. I'm running Evolution 3.4.4. Using additional software packages that talk to the Evolution server is perfectly fine.

what is your calendar server type ? it's very unlikely that evolution allow such a thing or maybe by reading it's files

@Kiwy I have no idea. How do I find out? I just installed Debian'sevolutionpackage plus dependencies (including evolution-data-server) and created a couple of calendars in the Evolution GUI. The only thing I can say reasonably for sure is that they are not "web" calendars of any kind. I think they are termed "local" or something like that, but am not in front of that system to check.

You can also refer to developer.gnome.org/platform-overview/stable/tech-eds.html.en whoch sound like the exact thing you need to handle your calendar

@Kiwy Um, what's pointed at by those links looks like API documentation to me. Is there anything in particular there that you have in mind which might help me, or are you saying I have to roll my own?

The answer to your question is SyncEvolutiuon. The documentation for the Command Line usage is on the website
SyncEvolution synchronizes personal information management (PIM) data via various protocols (SyncML, CalDAV/CardDAV, ActiveSync). It syncs contacts, appointments, tasks and memos. It syncs to web services or to SyncML-capable phones via Bluetooth.
You can then use this to access your Evolution Calendar by getting the information sync to CalDAV. Good blog on this is Degooglifying Part IV
The best thing is that you can use this to sync your calendar to many devices or just so you can bang on CalDAV with any script.
