In 2023, I created a web API used to centralize publicly available information about Infogroep. The API exposes upcoming events, opening hours, a live status of the Infogroep room door, and data for other internal services.

Its goal is to centralize information so other services can easily display details like upcoming events.

Features #

• Allows services to fetch upcoming event information.
• Parses opening hours from an internal wiki and makes them publicly accessible.
• Provides the open/closed status of the Infogroep room door.
• Manages configuration and advertisements for the schedules screen.
• Fetches and updates room availability for the computer rooms at the VUB using TimeEdit.
• Authentication using OAuth.

Tech Stack #

The API is built with TypeScript and Next.js, runs on Kubernetes, and uses GlitchTip for error reporting.
