T-REX, the DormCon REX API

GitHub: mit-dormcon/t-rex

If you're looking to learn more about REX or see what events are happening, please visit the official site at dormcon.mit.edu/rex.

What's this website?

This website hosts the backend of the REX Events page on the DormCon website. The code that generates this website produces a few files:

• index.html - This is the page you're reading right now!
• api.json - This structured data is provided to the REX Events page. Feel free to use it for your own purposes! The structure of the JSON is documented on the main DormCon website, and you can also look at the schema by viewing openapi.yaml.
• booklet.html - This is the web version of the REX booklet, always up to date with the latest changes.
• errors.html - This contains a list of all errors present in the submitted REX events, including events with invalid times and events that conflict with mandatory orientation events.

Can I use the API data for my own project?

Sure, you're more than welcome to!

If you have any questions or feedback on the API, feel free to contact me at dormcon-tech-chair@mit.edu, though unfortunately, I don't have the bandwidth to offer tech support for any derivative projects.

This website is a project of the DormCon Tech Chair.
