UCL API

We're making @ucl better by building a student-focussed API around its digital services. Follow for service status, updates, support and emojis!

Christmas came early, we've got a new website and its so much easier to contribute to! https://t.co/sXfQqVoN0k

UCL Assistant should now be available again. Apologies for the inconvenience caused! A project post-exams will be to build a tonne more resilience into this deployment process to try and avoid these outages in the future 💖

[UCL API @uclapi]

We're currently addressing an outage with our application server, affecting UCL Assistant and our other hosted services. The main API is still intact. We'll have an update very soon. Apologies for any inconvenience!

[UCL API @uclapi]

Turns out there have been some very strange things going on with our Docker deployment. Yet again, it filled up disk space and things have gone awry. We're now reconfiguring the host server but this may take a bit of time. Apologies again!

*updating
Clearly we fix things so quickly that we can't even type properly :)

[UCL API @uclapi]

We are aware of the data on the Workspaces (study space data) endpoints being out of date since an update we pushed last night to fix some room bookings caching issues.

Apologies for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience whilst we play whack-a-mole!

[UCL API @uclapi]

God Speed! You should see sensor data start upadting from now, with a full rollout of fixes within a few minutes. The servers are just syncing back up now and then we'll be full steam ahead again! Apologies once again for these issues. 💝

[UCL API @uclapi]

Update: thanks for bearing with us! Our UCL Assistant backend is now up and running again. We also have live-roombookings back online. Other services are coming back as and when in importance order.

[UCL API @uclapi]

We are currently experiencing an outage with our CapRover instance which hosts all our hosted apps (e.g. UCL Assistant, Live Room Bookings, the Hackathon website, etc.).

Turns out Docker is quite happy to use many GBs for unused images and fill the drive up!

We'll be back soon!

[UCL @ucl]

Did you know, before our #UCLSwitchOff campaign, UCL spent £26,400 on electricity on Easter Sunday alone! Give your gadgets the Easter break they deserve and switch them off. Find out more: https://t.co/QKrrUYwTBC

[UCL API @uclapi]

Note that this does NOT affect our main API. We are still up there. We are, however, investigating reports of inconsistent room bookings data as a high priority and will update when this has been rectified.

[UCL API @uclapi]

We soft-launched these updates on Saturday afternoon and they seem to be working well. We can't wait to see what you build with them!

[UCL API @uclapi]

We have two further announcements!

- The Personal Timetable API endpoint is now approximately 4-8x faster for the first request in a 12hr period! The backend logic is completely rewritten, and the results should no longer have spurious duplicate events
- The Degree API is out!
