[web/calendar] Prefill VRChat Event Creation Form
vvoody~
As the operator of VRC Timeline (vrc.tl), a community-driven event calendar for VRChat events, I would like to enable event organizers to export events they already added to vrc.tl, reducing redundancy and saving their time.
This feature in its simplest form might be a URL that would prefill the event creation form. Something like https://vrchat.com/home/group/grp_xxxx/events/create?eventName=abc&start=2025-08-10T20:00Z ... Bonus points for the possibility to load an event thumbnail from a provided URL in one of the GET parameters or alternatively making this feature a multipart/form-data POST request containing the event thumbnail file.
The ultimate solution would be the possibility to add and continuously sync events through OAuth and API.

This is 100% good for all parties involved, means that both systems are able to work for their intended purposes. I don't see any downsides here.

vvoody~, i understand your interesst, but i personally would like to see a more generic way. an endpoint to import/post an ICS instead. This will unfortnatly limit
who
can "post". Using a GET to download any picture/ICS/... file looks like an attack angle to abuse for DOSAn URL with get parameters which will most likely exceed shortly 2048 chars, which is the current a limit in some commen browsers.

Another idea, more standardized but slower, would be to allow the import of ICS files, just like you can already export events as ICS. Making the existing functionality bidirectional.

Heavily support this initiative. The groundwork is laid, and would expand the scope and number of events on the calendar and save me triple posting.
