This scrapes https://iacr.org/events/ and exports it as a calendar file.

I host a version of this for myself under https://arrrr.cupdev.net/iacr-events/iacr-events.ics (No warranty for accuracy or availability).

IACR now offers calendar on the event site. You might still want to use this as this scraper produces submission and notification dates in the event description and uses shorthand names for conferences, providing long names in the description.

The IACR calendar also gives some weird year long events (e.g. IFIP Summer School starting in 2020 ending in 2021) which are clearly artifacts.

Install pipenv – the python dependency manager, use python three and then execute the following:

pipenv install
pipenv run scrape

Use shell redirection to mask debug output or write to a file.

pipenv run scrape > iacr-events.ics 2>/dev/null
