I am looking for a way to share a task list with another user via script. I’ve looked in the documentation, but did only find an API to share files between users.

Is there also an API to share/unshare task lists or calendars between users?

The API being used is CalDAV with a few specific properties, which are more or less what’s being described [here](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pot-webdav-resource-sharing-03) (RFC was never finished).  
The best would be to look in the network tab of your browser developer tool to see what content is being sent when sharing a calendar or task, or look at how [the javascript library we use](https://github.com/nextcloud/cdav-library/blob/master/src/models/davCollectionShareable.js#L50) does it.

As a work around you can share all records from your database table.  
Just select the right calendar by using calendarid:

select \* from oc\_calendarobjects where calendarid = 1;

Excellent. I didn‘t know sharing is possible via CalDAV. That‘s exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
