Build Status

A web application that publishes BambooHR employee hire dates to an iCal feed. Please be aware that this functionality already comes bundled as a feature in BambooHR.

Getting Started

First, ensure that the following environment variables are set inside of a local .env file at the root of the repository. Use .env.example as a guide.

  • BB_API_SECRET_KEY - User-defined secret key required for ?key= request authorization
  • BAMBOOHR_SUBDOMAIN - Subdomain name of your BambooHR organization
  • BAMBOOHR_API_KEY - BambooHR API key

Next, bring up the development environment (a Falcon WSGI application, and Redis) using Docker Compose.

$ docker-compose up

Then, populate the Redis cache with employee hire dates. This step isn't 100% necessary, but it helps to populate the cache outside the context of a request/response cycle to avoid timeouts if you have more than a handful of employees.

$ docker-compose run --rm app python populate.py

Lastly, interact with the API to retrieve employee hire dates as an iCal calendar.

$ http "localhost:8000?key=..."
