Right, little project I've got going on over a couple of sites where I want to create some display screens for showing what's on today etc.

I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to raw 'coding', bit of VB and HTML and PHP and I'm done. Give me a powershell script anyday

I want to basically pull a list of events for today from a calendar in office365 and print it into a nice little formatted list on a webpage:

Event 1 - All Day
Event 2 - 090 to 09:30
Event 3 - 10:30 to 12:30
Event 4 - 15:30 to 17:45.

I'm quite happy for the code to pass a username and password as the web server is internal only. I just have no idea how to do it or where to start! Any pointers?

Look at the Office 365 (calendar) API. Yet to play around with it but it seems relatively(ish) straight forward - authorise an app with O365, authenticate using Oauth2 and then drag (calendar) data out as JSON.

There's a load of documents on MSDN and you'll probably find if you Google, a class/module for accessing it in what ever language you decide to do it with.

Edit - Be interested to hear how you get on with this (using whatever method), as I've got to soon implement something similar for a digital signage project

If you can get the data from powershell, and I'm betting you can, just write-host it as html to a textfile.htm

Did you get anywhere with pulling events out of O365 calendars? If so, what route did you go down?

I'm currently attempting to do the same for digital signage but the API looks an absolute ballache

Would have done if it was a shared calendar but apparently that's too much hard work for everyone to keep updated, so i've got to grab events out of everyones individual calendars


Pow - I don't blame you
