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).
The API documentation uses the variable $base_url
to refer to the base URL of MyTimetable. This URL depends on the customer and can be found on the Customer-specific API information page.
Not all MyTimetable sites have enabled API access. Some customers choose to enable API access only for certain trusted applications. Please contact us if you have questions about the API or if you would like to receive an access token for a certain API.
Data structure
A student's timetable is made up of one or more individual timetables. These timetables are all of a certain type. The exact meaning of a type depends on the customer (see Customer-specific API information), but the table below gives an idea of the options:
...
The API gives the option to either query a user's complete personal timetable, based on his or her MyTimetable subscriptions, or a single timetable which is not based on a user's profile. The first option always requires a certain form of authentication, whereas the second option may be available without any authentication or only requires an API token. An example workflow for both scenarios:
- Personal timetable
- Request access to the user's personal timetable by using OAuth, or use impersonation using an API token (if available).
- Retrieve a list of a user's subscriptions using the
/subscriptions
call. - Retrieve the timetable of a user using the
/timetable
call. - Add or remove subscriptions to a user's profile by using the
/subscriptions
calls. To retrieve a list of timetables that can be added, one can use the/timetables
call.
- Single timetable
- Retrieve a list of timetables for a certain type by using the
/timetables
call. - The list of the previous call can be filtered using several filter options. The values for these filters can be retrieved using the
/timetablefilters
call. - After choosing the right timetable, the contents of the timetable can be retrieved using the
/timetables/{key}
call.
- Retrieve a list of timetables for a certain type by using the
A timetable always consists of a list of Event objects and is sorted by event start and end date. The events contain the following values:
...
timetableKeys
...
New fields may be added to objects without incrementing the version number. See 3114172430 for details.
Input and output format
The resources support both JSON and XML output. By default, the returned format depends on the HTTP Accept header. Use application/json
for JSON and application/xml
for XML. It is also possible to specify the output format in the URL, by appending .json
or .xml to the resource name, before the query string. Dates and times are returned in ISO 8601 format (yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm
) when retrieving results in XML, and in Unix timestamp format when retrieving JSON (in milliseconds, instead of the default seconds).
In the future, the API will only support JSON output, so we strongly recommend to implement your API client based on the JSON output.
Output can be available in multiple languages. Use the Accept-Language
HTTP header to specify the locale, for example nl-NL
. When the specified locale is not available, the default locale will be used.
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.
Authentication and authorisation
Depending on the wishes of the institution, the MyTimetable API can require several forms of authentication and authorisation.
First of all, it can be necessary for the client application to provide some form of authentication. This makes sure only authorised applications can access the API data. This authorisation is usually done using an API token. Next to the client authentication, sometimes the client application wants to access the personal data of a user. The user can either provide authorise the application to access this data, using OAuth, or the client can use a special API token with elevation privileges. Some MyTimetable environment only allow API access for requests that can be linked to a real user. In these cases an OAuth token is always necessary.
In the requests below we have not included the authorisation information (like the access_token
query parameter or the apiToken
header). The page with Customer-specific API information lists the requirements of the different MyTimetable environments available.
Recommendations
Please keep some things in mind when using the API:
- The API-token is a secret, and should only be used in back-end services. Do not include it in your end-user application.
- Enable GZIP-compression in your API library. Support for non-compressed responses may be dropped in the future.
- Make sure your client supports TLS v1.2, older versions may not be available.
- Do not cache data for long periods of time (or at all), but do make sure end-users cannot trigger useless API requests (e.g., cache while the user is in the same view, and do not let the user refresh 100's of times by simply spamming a button).
- The schema may change as fields may be added. Be sure to ignore unknown fields in your data mapper.
- Do not 'scrape' the API and store data locally. It causes a high load and stale data.
- Do not perform unnecessarily large requests or a large number of requests. E.g., if you want to show the upcoming 5 activities of a location, just request the upcoming 5 activities and not the timetable for the whole year. Also, do not refresh that view every minute, as the timetable will not change every minute.
- In the future, the API will only support JSON output, so we strongly recommend to implement your API client based on the JSON output.
Version numbering
The API uses a version numbering scheme and the base URL of the API is: $base_url/api/v$version
. The current API version is version 0. Non-breaking changes (like the addition of extra information or methods) will be done without incrementing the version number. On breaking changes the version number will be increased. Multiple API versions may exist at the same time. Eveoh will try to support older API versions when technically and economically feasible, but users are encouraged to always use the latest API version.
Multiple databases
Multiple datasources with timetabling data may be available (e.g., when retrieving data from multiple years). By specifying a GET parameter d
, it is possible to select a certain database for the request in certain requests. The list of possible databases can be retrieved with the 3114172430 call. If no database is specified, the default database will be used, which is usually the most sensible option. For older MyTimetable versions (<v2.4) it is necessary to select the right database with every call, if not using the default database.

/timetabletypes
Method: GET
Description: Query all possible timetable types, these types serve as input for the /timetables, /timetable and /timetablefilters calls. See 3114172430 for a discussion on the meaning of the types. MyTimetable versions before v2.3 return all possible types supported by the back-end, in that case consult Customer-specific API information to find out what types the customer uses.
