🤖 How it Works

This repository uses GitHub Actions to run a Python script every morning at 6:00 AM.

  1. The script initializes a session to fetch fresh cookies from the EMS portal.
  2. It queries the ServerApi.aspx endpoint for the next 30 days of data.
  3. It deduplicates events using their internal EMS unique IDs.
  4. It sorts events into specific categories based on keywords.
  5. It pushes the updated .ics files to this repository, which are then hosted via GitHub Pages.
