CW 15/2022 - News: Yikes, no ICS'es for Thabella
A few students have asked us whether there is a way to import your course schedule into *my* [Google, Nextcloud, ...]-Calendar.
Referencing the helpfull platform Thabella, this option is available for registered users (lecturers).
Well buckle your seatbelts, 'cause here we go!
Since the platform is publicly open and it is possible to view your schedule in the weekly view of thabella, the platform does answer simple REST requests.
These responses contain a JSON regarding your given date/class/organizer/participants/room.
With the help of professor Elser, we were able to write a simple python program, which simply downloads the schedule of a given study course to a ICS file.
These files are now hosted on this website for download/synchronisation and will possibly be extended into a fully independant CalDAV server.
