# WordCamp Favorites Calendar Generator
A Python script to extract your favorite sessions from any WordCamp schedule and generate an ICS calendar file.
## What it does
- Takes a WordCamp schedule URL with favorite sessions marked
- Fetches session details via the WordCamp REST API
- Extracts session titles, speakers, locations, and times
- Generates an `.ics` calendar file you can import into any calendar app
## Usage
```bash
python3 wordcamp_favorites.py ''
```
### Example
```bash
python3 wordcamp_favorites.py 'https://us.wordcamp.org/2025/schedule/?fav-sessions=1834,1952,2303,2644'
```
## Requirements
```bash
pip install requests
```
## How to get your favorites URL
1. Go to any WordCamp schedule page
2. Mark sessions as favorites (usually a star icon)
3. Copy the URL - it will contain `?fav-sessions=1234,5678,9012`
4. Use that URL with the script
## Output
- Console: List of your favorite sessions with details
- File: `wordcamp_favorites.ics` calendar file
- Import the `.ics` file into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, etc.
## Features
- Works with any WordCamp site that uses the standard WordPress REST API
- Handles large numbers of favorites (automatically chunks API requests)
- Proper timezone handling (Pacific Time for US events)
- Includes session titles, speakers, and room locations in calendar events
## Example Output
```
