GitHub - EuroPython/programapi: Program API

This project powers the EuroPython 2025 website, Discord bot, and internal bot ðŸĶœ by downloading, transforming, and serving clean, structured JSON files for sessions, speakers, and the schedule, all pulled from Pretalx.

Built for transparency. Designed for reuse. Optimized for EuroPython.

  2. Transforms raw data:
    • Removes private/irrelevant fields
    • Normalizes formats
    • Adds computed fields (e.g. URLs, delivery mode)
  3. Serves the transformed JSON files via a static API.
