Description
Steps to reproduce
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to retrieve shared calendar events using an HTTP Request node in N8N.
I need to get the following metadata for each event:
Creator (who created the event)
Created time
Last modified by
Last modified time
I know I can use REPORT request with a prop like:
<D:prop>
<D:getetag/>
<C:calendar-data/>
</D:prop>
But I couldn’t find any documentation on whether there are specific properties (like <C:created-by/>, <C:last-modified-by/>, etc.) that expose the creator or last modifier of a calendar event.
Does anyone know:
Are there any standard or extended WebDAV/CalDAV properties that return creator and last modified by info?
If so, what are the exact XML prop names I should use in the request body?
Is this dependent on the calendar server (e.g., Nextcloud, Google, Exchange)?
Any examples or working XML snippets would be super helpful.
Thanks in advance!

Research direction
No project files or tests are identified; start by reviewing the linked Nextcloud Help discussion and the reported HTTP Request/CalDAV property requirements. Done would mean documenting whether creator, creation time, last modifier, and modification time are available, including exact XML property names and any server-specific limitations.
