programapi

This project downloads, processes, saves, and serves the static JSON files containing details of accepted speakers and submissions via an API.

Used by the EuroPython 2024 website and the Discord bot.

What this project does step-by-step:

1. Downloads the Pretalx speaker and submission data, and saves it as JSON files.
2. Transforms the JSON files into a format that is easier to work with and OK to serve publicly. This includes removing unnecessary/private fields, and adding new fields.
3. Serves the JSON files via an API.

Installation

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install the dependency management tool: make deps/pre
3. Install the dependencies: make deps/install
4. Set up pre-commit: make pre-commit

Configuration

You can change the event in the config.py file. It is set to europython-2024 right now.

Usage

• Run the whole process: make all
• Run only the download process: make download
• Run only the transformation process: make transform

Note: Don't forget to set PRETALX_TOKEN in your .env file at the root of the project. And please don't make too many requests to the Pretalx API, it might get angry 🤪

API

The API is served at https://programapi24.europython.eu/2024. It has two endpoints (for now):

• /speakers.json: Returns the list of confirmed speakers.
• /sessions.json: Returns the list of confirmed sessions.

Schema

See this page for the explanations of the fields in the returned JSON files.
