Cal Proxy

Simple Flask app to proxy my school's calendar in order to filter courses I'm not following this year.

Usage

The app is configurable with environment variable and url parameters.

Environment variable	URL parameter	Type	Meaning
BASE_URL	None	String	Original calendar url
COURSES	excluded_courses	Comma separated values, without space	The courses to exclude from the original calendar. Example : NRP,MGL,TIP
TYPES	excluded_types	Comma separated values, without space	The course types to exclude from the original calendar. Example : Cours,TD
YEAR	year	String	The year to fetch. Example : 4
GROUP	group	String	The group to fetch. Example : 1
ALLOWED_YEARS	None	String	Used to validate year specified in URL params. Example : 3,4,5
ALLOWED_GROUPS	None	String	Used to validate group specified in URL params. Example : 1,2,3,4

Example

Default

After deploying the app and setting the environment variables you want, you can either call the root :

http://calendar.example.com/

You'll get the default calendar according to your environment.

URL params

You can also call the url with params :

http://calendar.example.com/?year=3&group=2&excluded_types=Cours&excluded_courses=PIT,SIS

The url params will override the defaults from your environment and you'll get the calendar for the 3rd year, 2nd group excluding all lectures and all PIT and SIS courses.
