EMS Conversion Utility

This repository contains a tool used to generate RSS feeds from the UConn EMS Cloud instance. This tool is used internally to power the Carousel room signage used throughout the university.

Quick Start

Use npm to install the required dependencies.

npm install

Now, provide the required credentials to authenticate with EMS. An example environment file is included, it can be renamed to env.json and filled out with the required credentials.

{
    "clientId": "CLIENT_ID",
    "clientSecret": "CLIENT_SECRET"
}

Additionally, there is an option to only generate RSS feeds with currently occurring/future events, by passing HIDE_ELAPSED as true in while calling npm start.

Obtaining Credentials

If you are a university employee or affiliate and intend to use this tool for UConn data (and do not already have access) please send a ticket over to IAM in order to obtain API access.
