Linker_EPITECH_To_GOOGLE_Calendar

Link your Epitech calendar to your Google calendar.

Installation:

Basics

• Clone this repository.
• Create a config.json file with the following content:

{
    "CALENDAR_ID": "",
    "USER_COOKIE": "",
    "GetModules": false
}

Configuration

Authentications

Add your Epitech session Cookie.

Find it by going on the intra and going into dev console -> application -> cookies -> user

You need to copy the value inside the config json.

Add your Calendar ID.

First things first, you can create an Epitech sub-calendar. This step is not mandatory, but creating a sub-calendar improves your general calendar clarity and its organisation. To do so, create a new calendar by clicking on this menu:

Then, select the Settings and sharing menu option for this sub-calendar:

Press Ctrl+F, search for Calendar ID in the page and copy-paste the address XXXX@group.calendar.google.com in the config.json file for the CALENDAR_ID key.

Specify your getter preference

If you want to retrieve modules' timeline in addition of projects' one, replace false by true in the config.json file for the GetModules key.

In the end, your configuration file should look like this:

{
    "CALENDAR_ID": "XXXX@group.calendar.google.com",
    "USER_COOKIE": "XXXXXXXX",
    "GetModules": false
}

APIs configuration

Go to https://developers.google.com/calendar/quickstart/python and click on "Enable the Google Calendar API". Create a project and download the client configuration. The credentials.json must be located in the program directory.

Run sudo pip3 install --upgrade google-api-python-client oauth2client to install the Google API library, and sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install all other dependencies.

If you do not have access to an internet browser (e.g., in a server context) run python3 main.py --noauth_local_webserver otherwise run python3 main.py to execute the program. You will need to connect to your Google account the first time.

Notes

You can setup a crontab to synchronise your Epitech calendar regularly. (https://crontab.guru)
