i am trying to create a link to outlook live calendar to pass event data (get parameters) from my website and save the event in outlook live calendar, but i cannot find the correct url to use

this should work in a similar way to addevent.com, 

i got the start bit right, (I think) but even with the correct parameters, the calendar opens in month view, but the event is not added.

I have tried 

http://calendar.live.com/calendar/calendar.aspx?rru=addevent

https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/view/Month&rru=addevent.......

i got the top snippet from

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh846807.aspx#single

No problem with gcal !!

Outlook | Web | Outlook.com | Calendar

    This by NO MEANS is a fix to what is an obvious BUG in MS programs.  All other online calendars work with a URL feed.  If Microsoft wishes to retain a presence in the marketplace I strongly suggest Microsoft correct this problem as quickly as is possible.

    Got the same problem here. Hope I can just have a link with some event details, instead of using the API.

    This is not something which should require the API

    There is no need or intention to share the calendar.

    All I am trying to do is enable a user to click on a link which takes them to their own instance of Outlook OWA on their own machine (pc/phone/tablet) and automatically add the details to their own calendar using the URL parameters from the link.

    As I mentioned earlier, if i do this when not logged in to OWA, it works, but when i am already logged in, it takes me to the month view in the calendar and does not open the edit event window

    thanks for your reply.

    I tried the links in several browsers, and it could be the issue lies with whether or not i am already logged in to outlook.

    here's an example.

    https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/calendar/view/Month&rru=addevent&startdt=20180213T000000Z&enddt=20180214T000000Z&subject=Test+Event&location=City+Hall

    If i copy the url from my browser and paste it into a new window, the outlook owa opens in month view, but the new event is not open

    If I log out of outlook owa then paste the above in my browser, i am taken through the sign-in and then calendar owa opens as a new event

    i tried this in edge and FF and i get the same thing
