I assume the SolarAssistant screenshot below is of a Beta version as I don't see this view?

I am on the beta channel yes - Software version: 2023-03-21

I cannot find any of the Port Elizabeth / Nelson Mandela Bay schedules, what is needed to integrate that?

I've got some issues open about PE/NMB, it's just a matter of me finding the time I'm afraid. Hopefully I'll get to it soon. If you click "watch" on one of those issues, then you'll be notified when they're fixed.

Awesome job :)
I have integrated the api into my home nodered monitoring it works great once I figured out how to get the correct data from the csv on a scheduled cron 🤪

I have also added the github calendar site into a simple iframe into my main website :) so visitors can do lookups right there 😉

Glad you're getting good use from it! What's your website URL?

That works perfect my side, it does sometimes go offline due to high traffic volumes, but for api usage mostly it works great as you are only polling it every hour or 2 depending on how your api code is setup to get the info.

@WannabeSolarSparky yes I noticed earlier today to was working but now it is broken again, guess it's best to perhaps poll the endpoint like you said then store the information until the next successful poll happens (when successful then I'll update with most recent schedule)
