How do I create an Out of office type Calendar Event via the REST API?
Google Calendar has a new event type called "Out of office" that automatically will decline any events it is placed over and others that come in during the scheduled time of the event.
I inspected one of these event objects via the API and briefly checked the Google Calendar API documentation to see if there was a way to create these programmatically. I work on a system that schedules events on people's calendars when they are going to be out of the office as all day events to provide visibility to the rest of the staff. I would like to change these to be true Out of office event types if its possible via the API.

I think this is a pretty new feature that Gmail had launched that goes with their new calendar UI, it may be only applicable for the web and not yet added to the API. You may want to create a feature request for other developers that are looking forward for this feature in the API.

The only thing that seemingly marks an event as out of office is a private extended property on the event resource:
"extendedProperties": {
"private": {
"everyoneDeclinedDismissed": "-1"
}
}
Looking at https://developers.google.com/calendar/v3/reference/events/insert the attribute extendedProperties.private is writeable so you should be able to set it there.
