How to set up a google calendar web hook in Nodejs?

I looked at the google calendar node js api and this wasn’t clear.

How do I set up a web hook using the Nodejs google calendar library?

I want to tell google to ping a server when my clients has either added or changed an appointment on his google calendar?

How can I use Nodejs to set up the watch?

The Google Calendar API provides push notifications that let you watch for changes to resources (Webhooks).

Google Calendar Push notification                                                                                 View in Fusebit 
const calendar = googleClient.calendar('v3');
const watchResponse = await calendar.events.watch({
  resource: {
      id: uuidv4(),
      type: 'web_hook',
      address: 'Your webhook address here'
    },
    calendarId: 'primary'
  });
  
const { data } = watchResponse;
console.log('Calendar Webhook created', data);
