another day, another (video) call platform for the hackerspace, another API to scrape/create rogue implementation for so we can publish connection count on MQTT (so far done Mumble and BBB, now Jitsi)
@f0x can you like, just curl the page and do some very shonky HTML regexing
@s0 nope.. just like bigbluebutton it requires an active connection with a bunch of state, seems i'll have to work with the horrid xmpp protocol underneath so this is Not Going to be Fun...
@f0x this reminds me of our attempt to make a “next train in X mins” sign for our makerspace which is beside a train station. But to do something like get the time to next train at a given platform, you have to index, reference & join megabytes of tables of every possible route, platform, direction, and vehicle, it’s ridiculous
like, there's an iframe script that does have easy calls for number of participants, but depends on well, a browser
and there's a low-level-api which sucks
