Nylas alternative with a unified calendar API

Nylas alternative
What does Apiroc offer as a Nylas alternative?
Google Calendar, Outlook and iCloud Calendar have different APIs, different data models and different surprises. Apiroc gives you one unified calendar API so you can focus building your product, not dealing with calendar apis.

Multi-provider
Integrate Google Calendar, Outlook and iCloud using one API
Apiroc gives your application one consistent API for all major calendar providers. You do not need to learn three different APIs or maintain three integrations. Your users connect Google and Microsoft through a hosted OAuth flow, and iCloud with an app-specific password.
Reliability
Built on infrastructure that has handled billions of calendar API calls
Our team has worked with the Google, Microsoft and Apple calendar APIs for years. Apiroc runs on infrastructure that has processed billions of calendar API calls, with automatic retries, provider rate limit handling and failover, so your integration stays online when a provider has a bad day.
Webhooks
Real-time webhooks, one format
Apps that work with calendars need to know when something changes. Apiroc sends your endpoint a signed webhook when an event is created, updated or deleted in Google Calendar or Outlook. One payload format and one endpoint to handle. Webhooks for iCloud Calendar are planned.
