Ask HN: Calendar as a service

1 points by codemod 9y ago ↗ HN

Are there any companies or open source projects that provide calendar as a service. We want to be able to generate and store recurring or one-time events against a user Id and then query the same via API calls.

Ex: If there are teachers who teach at specific times such as

Teacher A - Every Tuesday 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM Teacher B - Every Wednesday and Friday 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM

I want to be able to create these schedules and then get a list of teachers that teach for the next 15 days.

Any help is appreciated.

Yep. This is one option for me, but I need to implement server side authorisation to create calendars on the fly. I am hoping to avoid that step with a SaaS provider, if one exists.
