Integration with Scheduler

I have 2 questions about how Scheduler integrates with other applications or devices
  1. Is it possible to get data into or out of scheduler using rest or soap web services
  2. in a related topic how well does scheduler integrate with external Calendars so that teachers can use their own calendar apps to view the scheduled users


The documentation doesn't mention if scheduler updates the users own moodle calendar when a slot is taken but can I assume it does?

Scheduler does enter scheduled appointments into the teacher's and student's Moodle calendar. You can get those out by iCal. It does not create entries for unfilled slots.

I'm not aware of any services exposed via REST or otherwise.

Thanks for responding. Do you know how long before cancelled and updated (new student) slots would be reflected in the various iCal feeds?

Scheduler writes calendar entries as soon as a change occurs. I'm not sure  how long the latency between Moodle calendar and ical feeds is, but my impression is that the main point is how often a client would pull the ical feeds.
