• In grey: events that I supervise (often HUB activities)
• In red: registered events from my AER epitech calendar

Usage

Fetch all next events

$ python3 main.py

Fetch all events since date

$ python3 main.py YYYY-MM-DD

Config

Python3 - Requirements

$ sudo python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Config file

Create a config.json file (from config-sample.json) with the following content at root of the repo:

[
    {
        "comment": "student / aer ...",
        "epitech_cookie": "...",
        "calendarID_events": "[email protected]",
        "calendarID_timeline": "[email protected]",
        "calendarID_teaching_team": "[email protected]",
        "calendarID_other_calendars": "[email protected]"
    }
]

• comment is what you want, it doesn't matter, it's just useful not to get mixed up if you have multiple accounts
• epitech_cookie is your user cookie, find it by going on the intra and going into dev console -> application -> cookies -> user
• calendarID_events is the calendar in which you want to put all registered events
• calendarID_timeline is the calendar in which you want to put projects timeline
• calendarID_teaching_team is the calendar in which you want to put events which you supervise (HUB activities for example)
• calendarID_other_calendars is the calendar in which you want to put events registered in your private epitech calendars

If you don't want some events you can delete line in config.json or set value to null. If you want to put all events in only one calendarID you can by using the same calendarID.

Multi epitech account or fiend account? So easy!

[
    {
        "comment": "student",
        "epitech_cookie": "...",
        "calendarID_events": "[email protected]",
        "calendarID_timeline": "[email protected]",
        "calendarID_teaching_team": "[email protected]",
        "calendarID_other_calendars": "[email protected]"
    },
    {
        "comment": "aer",
        "epitech_cookie": "...",
        "calendarID_events": "[email protected]",
        "calendarID_timeline": "[email protected]",
        "calendarID_teaching_team": "[email protected]",
        "calendarID_other_calendars": "[email protected]"
    }
]

How to get calendarID?

• Create a calendar in google
• Go in your new calendar's settings
• Go in Integrate Calendar section
• Copy Calendar ID (in general it looks like [email protected] or [email protected])

Google credentials.json

To connect your google account with this application, you also need to create an OAuth credentials file (How generate credentials). Then, rename the downloaded file to credentials.json and put it in the root of the repo.

Automatization

To automatize the synchronization with yours epitech calendars, you can use a cron

For example, to run the program every half hour, you can copy this in your crontab (crontab -e):

*/30 * * * * cd /full/path/EPITECH_to_GOOGLE_calendar/; python3 main.py &>> log
