Find Available Rooms at ETH

this is a quick & dirty hobby project

run with deno run --allow-net ./index.ts

Why

I like to study at ETH on-site (I can concentrate much better than at home).
I like to study in an unoccupied seminar/meeting room (often more quiet than the provided workspaces for students)
Finding a Room using either of the online tools provided by ETH (https://ethz.ch/staffnet/de/service/raeume-gebaeude/rauminfo.html or https://www.rauminfo.ethz.ch/IndexPre.do) is cumbersome, as there’s no way of filtering for rooms that are currently available, instead one needs to manually open the details page of the room, then from there the Room Allocations

List of rooms (stored in rooms.ts) was obtained from https://ethz.ch/bin/ethz/roominfo?path=/rooms&lang=de
For each room it checks, it sends a request to https://ethz.ch/bin/ethz/roominfo?path=/rooms/${room.building}%20${room.floor}%20${room.room}/allocations&from=${DATE}&to=${DATE}
I have no idea if that API is supposed to be publicly accessible, but I sure hope it stays up

All results of this tool are to be treated as guesswork, I take no responsibility for correctness.
