Providing Schedule Information [BETA]

Schedules

At present, our Platform only supports:

• repeatFrequency - daily, weekly and monthly.

• byDay - schema days (not iCal).

• byMonthDay - numbers.

Our platform does not currently support iCal-type rules like 1TH (or -2WE, etc.).

Daily

The following is an example of a session that takes place every other day:

{
  "@context": [
    "https://openactive.io/"
  ],
  "@type": "Schedule",
  "repeatFrequency": "P2D",
  "startDate": "2018-10-19",
  "endDate": "2018-11-04",
  "startTime": "08:30",
  "endTime": "09:30",
  "duration": "PT1H",
  "scheduleTimezone": "Europe/London",
  "scheduledEventType": "ScheduledSession",
  "idTemplate": "https://example.com/api/scheduled-sessions/{startDate}",
  "urlTemplate": "https://example.com/scheduled-sessions/{startDate}"
}

Daily must be used with neither byDay nor byMonthDay.

Weekly

The following session will take place every week on Tuesday and Sunday:

{
  "@context": [
    "https://openactive.io/"
  ],
  "@type": "Schedule",
  "repeatFrequency": "P1W",
  "startDate": "2018-10-19",
  "endDate": "2018-11-04",
  "startTime": "08:30",
  "endTime": "09:30",
  "byDay": [
    "https://schema.org/Tuesday",
    "https://schema.org/Sunday"
  ],
  "duration": "PT1H",
  "scheduleTimezone": "Europe/London",
  "scheduledEventType": "ScheduledSession",
  "idTemplate": "https://example.com/api/scheduled-sessions/{startDate}",
  "urlTemplate": "https://example.com/scheduled-sessions/{startDate}"
}

Weekly must be used with byDay but not byMonthDay.

Monthly

This session happens every month on the 5th and on the 15th:

{
  "@context": [
    "https://openactive.io/"
  ],
  "@type": "Schedule",
  "repeatFrequency": "P1M",
  "startDate": "2018-10-05",
  "endDate": "2018-12-15",
  "startTime": "08:30",
  "endTime": "09:30",
  "duration": "PT1H",
  "byMonthDay": [
    5,
    15
  ],
  "scheduleTimezone": "Europe/London",
  "scheduledEventType": "ScheduledSession",
  "idTemplate": "https://example.com/api/scheduled-sessions/{startDate}",
  "urlTemplate": "https://example.com/scheduled-sessions/{startDate}"
}

Monthly must be used with byMonthDay and not byDay.

PartialSchedules

If you are including PartialSchedules in your data, we highly recommend that you also include the oa:schedulingNote property, found in the OpenActive Specification, to alert the end user to the fact that the session may or may not be taking place.
