External Calendar API Endpoint

With the help of the External Calendar API Endpoint feature, users of CAE LearningSpace will be able to process events (including date, event name and room name)  using their software integration components and work with the event information in any way they desire, like:

• forwarding them to external calendar applications
• or presenting it as a static webpage

The External Calendar API Endpoint toggle can be activated in the System Module, General tab.

This API endpoint can be queried and provide data from the CAE LearningSpace calendar to display outside of the system on a public-facing calendar. 

• The calendar is hourly refreshed.
• It refers to current events ('today') and upcoming events (future events of the next 7 days).

If the feature is enabled, the list of all approved events is displayed according to the below:

• • starting from 00:00 of the day of the query
  • finishing at 23:59 on the 7th day of the query
