Add event to calendar on SharePoint through REST API - rest

Question

I'm trying to add a calendar event to a SharePoint Calendar through REST API but i can't seems to find the relevant resources to achieve this.
If i understand correctly, the calendar in SharePoint is a List of events object, as such I should be able to add the event via ListItem object?
Sorry if this sounds wrong as I'm not familiar with SharePoint structure.
Thanks

This is the example for OAuth token Authentication but REST part is anyway like this.
var dataObj = {
"Subject": "Birthday Party"
"Body": {
"ContentType": "Text",
"Content": "Birthday Party for Cathy",
},
"Start": {
"dateTime": "2016-07-03T09:00:00Z",
"timeZone": "Asia/Tokyo"
},
"End": {
"dateTime": "2016-07-04T11:00:00Z",
"timeZone": "Asia/Tokyo"
},
"Location": {
"DisplayName": "Conference Room 1"
},
"ShowAs": "Busy",
"Attendees": [
{
"EmailAddress": { "Name": "Alex Darrow", "Address": "darrow.alex#company.com" },
"Type": "Required"
}
]
};
var url = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/events/";
var data = JSON.stringify(dataObj);
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: "POST",
data: data,
beforeSend: function (XMLHttpRequest) {
XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json;odata.metadata=full;odata.streaming=true");
XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + accessToken);
XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("content-type", "application/json;odata=verbose");
},
success: function (result, textStatus, jqXHR) {
//Success
},
error: function (data) {
//
}});
