New UserAPI feature request - retrieve user calendar

nzmike wrote 9 years ago: 1

Hi David,

It would be soooooo good if we could get a User API request added to return the user's calendar - ideally complete with show and episode ID and also URLs as per the current HTML page.

At present in my app I am presenting the calendar by downloading the HTML and then scraping it (so I can add a couple of other options on it) but if we could get the raw JSON with all the calendar entries that would be a lifesaver.

I know you've already done me a favour by providing the show id on the episodes method and I'm guessing this one would be much more difficult so It's just a request/suggestion to (hopefully) be done when you get a chance.

Cheers,

Mike

FYI, this is essentially the same request as http://www.tvmaze.com/threads/1812/request-user-schedule: displaying a calendar or a schedule is just a matter of presentation, the API for them wouldn't be different. :)

Thanks David, I agree. Is this something you have planned to implement for the User API?

As I wrote in the other thread: definitely! This one is indeed some more work, so I want to make sure there's enough demand before I start on it. I might move your post to the other thread later to keep everything in one place.
