Join the LiquidPlanner Developer Forum > Is it possible to get deadline dates of all my projects?

Hi,

One thing I miss a lot in the LP interface is a calendar view that would show all my projects deadlines. I read in the forum that you guys are still working on the calendar implementation, but I can't wait much longer. I'm about to dive into the LP developer API to retrieve all my projects deadline dates and build an iCal compatible file that I can import into, say, Google Calendar. After I invest a lot of my time into this task I'd like to ask you if that is even possible using the current API.

Thanks in advance

I think this is the same problem I am having. How can I get a report that shows the dealine dates and not the expected completion dates? is this a limitation in LP?

Hi Caio,
This is certainly possible with the api. Conceptually, you would just want to query the projects resource (/api/workspaces/:id/projects) for your workspace, which will give you back all of the top level projects encoded as JSON. Pluck the name of the project and the "promise_date" attribute out, and you have all the data you need from LiquidPlanner. I think the trickiest part would actually be pushing it into Google calendars.

Now as an aside, the iCalendar file that we generate actually encodes the deadlines of all your tasks iCalendar todo entries (VTODO I think). If you're using Apple's iCal, you can just turn off the "Remove: To Do Items" option, and you'll see a list of your deadlines.

As far as Google Calendars support goes, I'm working on adding in special urls you can use to access you calendar with clients that don't use http authentication like Google's calendar.

So in summary, it's entirely feasible if you want to hack away on something, but for those who don't, there are some other options.
