The /instances API not returning recurring meeting exceptions?

[Francisco Marcano]

Hello!

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I wasn't able to find much information on this topic in the API references or any online forum.

I've been recently working on a project that uses the Google Calendar API in order to link app meetings to Google Calendar Events.

As part of the linking process, we update the Google Calendar Event's description with a link to the app's meeting.

Doing so, results in the Google Calendar Event turning into an "exception" if it is part of a Recurring Google Calendar Event.

Now, when doing a GET on the /instances API, it seems those "exceptions" are not being returned in that list, even though they are still part of the Recurring Google Calendar Event.

I'm not sure if this is an expected behavior or not, but I wanted to get some clarity as to whether or not that's true, or help surface a bug in the /instances API.

If this is expected behavior, what would be the best way to get a list of Recurring Google Event instances that also includes exceptions?

Thank you!
