Monster Hunter Now Events

This is a calendar subscription file for events in Monster Hunter Now.

If you aren't playing yet, feel free to join and use my referral code for free items and zenny, 89K5MKCF.

I created this because I didn't want to add events to a shared calendar for my friends and I any longer and it's also a great way to test out how beneficial AI is in coding via dialogue with ChatGPT, and an excuse to utilize the OpenAI API.

Subscribe to Calendar

Add the ICS file to your calendar app.

You can also view today's events at https://seriouslysean.github.io/monster-hunter-now-events/.

Open AI Key

1. Sign up for an OpenAI API key, https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys
2. Add tokens if needed, https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/overview

Generate ICS File

Run npm start

This will do three things:

1. npm run fetch:all-articles

• Look for new articles
• Download article HTML
• Parse events from the article content
• Save article JSON

2. npm run generate:events-json

• Loop through all fixtures/**/events.json files
• Generate a combined dist/events.raw.json file
• Combine similar events from the raw JSON file
• Generate a deduped dist/events.json file

3. npm run generate:events-ics

• Generate the dist/events.ics file

Tools

Download, Parse and Save One Article

• npm run fetch:article -- -u <url>

Download, Parse and Save ALL New Articles

• npm run fetch:all-articles

Article index.html and events.json are output to fixtures/{date}_news-{slug}.

Website

1. Run npm run serve
2. Go to http://localhost:8080/monster-hunter-now-events/

Note: This will use the current events.json, so you may need to update it first to see current events.
