Reading a named calendar's events - google-apps-script

Question

I am trying to write a script that deletes all the events from every calendar in a certain month. Based on this method it looks like I am using the correct code, but every time I try to run this code, I get the error,
TypeError: Cannot find function getEvents in object Calendar. (line 17, file "Code")
My code is:
function myFunction() {
var year = 2018;
var month = 11;
var fromDate = new Date(year,month,1,0,0,0);
var toDate = new Date(year,month,28,0,0,0);
var calendars = ['def', 'Appointments', 'Chores', 'Contacts', 'Dates', 'Errand', 'IMPORTANT!!', 'Scheduling','Time-Sensitive', 'TV Show', 'Work'];
for (var x = 0; x < calendars.length; x++) {
var calendar = CalendarApp.getCalendarsByName(calendars[x])[0];
var events = calendar.getEvents(fromDate, toDate);
for (var i = 0; i < events.length; i++) {
var ev = events[i];
ev.deleteEvent();
}
}
}
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

The problem is that CalendarApp.getCalendarsByName(calendars[x]); returns an array. To access even the first and only element in the array you can do this:
var calendar=CalendarApp.getCalendarsByName(calendars[x])[0]; so that now the variable calendar is now a calendar and not an array of calendars.
Here's the form the script script I'm using:
function myFunction101() {
var year=2018;
var month=11;
var fromDate=new Date(year,month,1,0,0,0);
var toDate=new Date(year,month,28,0,0,0);
var calendars=['', ''];//using my calendars
for(var x=0;x<calendars.length;x++) {
var calendar=CalendarApp.getCalendarsByName(calendars[x])[0];
var events=calendar.getEvents(fromDate, toDate);
for(var i = 0; i < events.length; i++){
var ev = events[i];
Logger.log(ev.getTitle());
//ev.deleteEvent();
}
}
}
