Google Calendar Api get events on current week

I'm trying to get a list of events on the current week from one public Google Calendar using the Google Api.

All my configurations are good, i can do any tests, list and show events in one web page, but i searched any sort of query for get the events of the current week using the server date with out success.

I think it's possible using the "q" option indicated in the Google Api documentation, but i don't know who i can indicate the current week.

EDIT: I found one solution and posted as answer.

Suppose I have 50 events on the week of 02-12-2017 to 02-18-2017. The first event starts at 5am on 02-12 and the last event starts at 8pm on 02-18. Using Central Standard Time (CST), this is how I did it:

  $service = new Google_Service_Calendar($client);

  $optParams = array(
    "timeMin" => "2017-02-12T05:00:00-06:00",
    "timeMax" => "2017-02-18T20:00:01-06:00"
  );

  $events = $service->events->listEvents('[email protected]', $optParams);

  foreach ($events->getItems() as $event) {    

    print $eventnum . " - Event Name: ". $event->summary . "<br>";

  }

I'm not sure if the q will help to achieve this. I tried but it only worked with names and description of events, not with start times or end times. I hope this information helps.

I'm posting here the solution i find for my question: I calculated the desired range of dates with strtotime, in my case, all days between previous sunday and next monday. Then i pass these parametres to my request:

function getEvents($service, $calendarId){
//De un Domingo al otro
$date_inicio = date('c',strtotime( "previous sunday" ));
$date_fin = date('c',strtotime( "next monday" ));
$optParams = array(
  'orderBy' => 'startTime',
  'singleEvents' => TRUE,
  'timeMin' => $date_inicio,
  'timeMax' => $date_fin
  );
  $results = $service->events->listEvents($calendarId, $optParams);

if (count($results->getItems()) == 0) {
    print "Ningún evento encontrado.\n";
} else {
    foreach ($results->getItems() as $event) {
        $start = $event->start->dateTime;
        if (empty($start)) {
            $start = $event->start->date;
        }
        printf("%s (%s)\n", $event->getSummary(), $start);
        echo $start.'<br>'.$event->getSummary().'<br>'.$event->getDescription().'<hr>';
        printf("%s (%s)\n<br><br>", $event->getDescription(), $start);
    }
}
}
