VU-Amsterdam Timetable Converter

Tool to convert VU-Amsterdam timetables (from rooster.vu.nl) to .ics calendar files, letting you finally add all those events into your calendar.

Prerequisites

1. Java 8

Usage

1. Download the latest JAR release of this repo.
2. Run it from the commandline with java -jar <name-of-jar> "course name"
   • The "course name" is the search term we use to query the timetable system for your course (case insensitive). The first result for that course name search term is picked automatically, so make sure the search term corresponds to the official name of the course. If your course name has multiple words in it, surround it with double-quotes.
3. Your calendar file is waiting for you in this directory, called output.ics! Import it into the calendar of your choice!

Looking for more fine-grained export controls or less struggles with the command-line?

Have a look at the VUTt bookmarklet. It works as a bookmark that you can click on once you have manually generated the wanted timetable, letting you download ICS files right from the timetable page.
