Welcome to the NDK Guide. The following pages are actually setup to provide the copy of a new project brought to you by your NDK Staff to replace Guidebook for 2019.
The content on the pages from this category will be used to feed the public Guide for NDK.
More information on this project as we get closer to the convention! Assignments for who’s doing what’s left of the guide (outside of the Schedule API Data Entry) and the status of a page! Change the status button to “green” and “O” when an item is complete!

Schedules API
2021 Schedule Build Update
Important note: All new resource ID’s for 2021 use a new “venue_id”. This is a hard coded value because as of yet, we didn’t need multiple ID’s. Venue ID 2 is for the Gaylord. Venue ID 1 is for the Plaza Hotel. Venue ID 0 of all things is for storage. The Venue ID is important and used for only one API call. The Resources API down below. This allows you to get the rooms you want using a simple venue ID.

Notes on the Schedule API Build
New for 2018 is a Schedules API. For most folks on Staff this is rather unimportant, but for the Operational Technologies, Events, and Operations Departments this will hopefully improve both Data Sharing and Event Information flow for everyone this year!
The Schedules API is hosted at https://skynet.ndkdenver.org at a custom URL.
- The first 1 is the Venue ID, hard coded to 1 right now for Sheraton Denver Downtown.
- The second 1 is the resource ID, 1 being Main Events
- and the third string is for the display formats in case we need to change things up in the future.
- The first 1 is the Event ID (1 for NDK 2018)
- The second 1 is for the Resource ID (1 is actually Main Events)
- and the last string is the display type. Only JSON is supported right now, but I wanted to make it flexible for later.
