Sorry about you missing the one shot :frowning:
You should have a PM with the API in a few seconds!

into converting your API into an ical file

There are plenty of libraries out there that do the job for you, depending on which language you use. I use PHP and this: https://packagist.org/packages/eluceo/ical

If you want to convert the events to rss, this suites my needs: https://packagist.org/packages/suin/php-rss-writer

Can I get a key? I have some free time this week and would like to give a shot at making a countdown thingy!

Hey all,

So I knocked something up that creates an ics calendar. You can use it here: https://itmejp-calendar.herokuapp.com

Some notes:

  • You use it by either clicking the link to download the file, or adding the URL to your calendar software to have it polled and kept up to date. e.g. https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37100?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en
  • It is currently on the free heroku tier, so if it’s asleep it will take ~30 seconds to boot before you get handed the ics file. Be patient
  • It is most definitely in beta.
  • To that point, it’s not getting polled by Google as much as I’d like, which I think is cache header related. I’m going to look at it soon, when I find the time

Any new progress or solutions, official or unofficial?

Still working on getting this official in someway!

I made a small php app that converts future events to an rss or ical file, intented to be run from a cron job / scheduled task. For those interested it’s on github: https://github.com/crowly0/ItmeJP

@crowly_ and @JustTeaThankYou

We have a Bitbucket open now. I have no idea what that means but I’ll get any of you invited if it’s possible to make it an official thing in some way.

#16

Bitbucket is the same thing as Github from what I can see.

#17

Can you update the README with a setup instructions for the uninitiated in the php world.

In bitbucket you can have private repos without paying. Everything else is better on github.

#18

Depending on what you mean by “uninitiated”, I presume those that want to use this have some coding knowledge, but I have added some notes about installing composer and the command to download the required packages and create the autoloader, so those unfamiliar with composer can get this running.

#19

It’s a lot better now.
Have some years of coding under my belt, but never touched php. I’m too scared of it. So I’m sticking with C++.

#20

Fix a few bugs, and updated the ical so start and end times are converted to your local or specified time zone just like the rss.

#21

So I didn’t link my code on github before because I wasn’t sure how public you wanted the API (and thus any interaction with the API). Having said that, since someone else did… here it is: https://github.com/SCdF/itmejp-calendar

Look upon Clojure and despair!

#22

Cool, drop me a DM and I can take a gander.

I also need to work out how to get this website to email me when things happen, sometimes I get busy…

#23

Did I ever drop you a PM?

#24

Let’s try and get this going again. We’re using WordPress as a backend. What would be the best way to get this working?

#25

@DrewM87 Here’s a few temporary solutions for you.

The schedule, right now!
#26

Nah, I’ll send you one now though.

#27

Add some more functionality to my little project (https://github.com/crowly0/ItmeJP):

  • Choose which events to get: shows (exludes streams, messages etc), rollplay or all
  • Events can be exported to a google calendar
  • Notifications can be sent to selected devices that have Pushbullet installed
  • Notifications can be sent to Kodi to get a popup message on screen
