Introduction 

The MyTimeTable API allows you to retrieve timetables and alter user's MyTimetable profiles. Most of the data in MyTimetable can be accessed using the API, and the possibilities are expanded continuously. The API is based on REST principles, and is currently on version 0. Requests can be done using the various available HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT and DELETE).

...

Input can be provided in the form of HTTP GET URL parameters (which should be URL encoded properly) or an HTTP POST/PUT body that is in application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Most parameters are optional, when this is not the case this is mentioned in the documentation. Dates and times can be specified in one of the following format:

• 'today' or 'tomorrow' for the current or next day at 0:00;
• Unix timestamp format (in milliseconds sinds 1970, so don't forget to multiply/divide by 1000);
• ISO 8601 format (yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm): elements on the right side (time, time zone) are optional;
• Legacy format (yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm): the time is optional.
