icalretriever 2.1.1

Periodically retrieve ICS files in order to serve them with CalDAV.

ICalRetriever is a HTTP ICS retriever. It is designed to be called by a crontab each hour in order to download an ICalendar file from a designed HTTP location, eventually apply filters on it, and then write it to the disk.

Then, you can serve the ICal to WebDAV clients (using Radicale WebDAV server for example) in readonly mode, so that their synchronised ICal file is updated each hour conforming to the ICS HTTP source.

Installing

ICalRetriever is available on PyPI as icalretriever.

Usage

Simply call the retriever with the configuration file as parameter.

$ icalretriever-retrieve.py myConfig.yml
