ical link does not work
This is the ical URL created by our BambooHR program:

https://aasafetyinc.bamboohr.com/feeds/feed.php?id=6d45a6ba75fcf74a9ac616a20cb0612f

When I merge this with localendar, nothing appears.

Suggestions?

Re: ical link does not work
When I access that link, it returns no data.
You can test it yourself at https://icalendar.org/validator.html

Since there is no data for us to debug, you'll need to follow up with the BambooHR folks to see where the export is empty.

Re: ical link does not work
Thank you for the information. I created a new ical link and tested at the validator. These are the results received.

Results

File Size: 766 lines, 20610 bytes
Number of events found: 76

Success! No errors found.


Permalink: https://icalendar.org/validator.html?url=https://aasafetyinc.bamboohr.com/feeds/feed.php?id=a999af124a947504f7a9a1d415cd4a55

Permalinks are available when validating by URL. You can use a permalink to send a link of the validation results page using e-mail or web posting.

JSON Permalink: https://icalendar.org/validator.html?url=https://aasafetyinc.bamboohr.com/feeds/feed.php?id=a999af124a947504f7a9a1d415cd4a55&json=1

The JSON permalink formats the validation results in JSON format, which can be used by other programs for further analysis.

I tried to merge with this link, but, still nothing shows up.

I have a support request in with BambooHr, but if you have any other insight, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Re: ical link does not work
BambooHR looked at this and tells me the ical link is valid, so problem is on this end.

Re: ical link does not work
When our server requests the calendar from the new url you pasted, we receive a "403-Forbidden" response code.
We also receive the message:

"The owner of this website (aasafetyinc.bamboohr.com) has banned your access based on your browser's signature (489a5417d2602162-ua19)"

It's possible they are expecting some information that we are not passing (when a server application makes a request, it can look different from a web browser)

Can you pass this message along and inquire why they would return a 403 for your calendar's ical url? (And what "browser signature" information they are expecting?)

The site owner can also disable the "Browser Integrity Check" in Cloudflare and we should be able to access your ical feed.

confused   Re: ical link does not work
iCal feed is not working when adding it to the localendar Merge page on interactive mini-calendar with pop-up event balloons. HELP!!!
I added an iCal Calendar URL in the Merge iCal page and created a nickname but the box does not stay checked after checking it and navigating to a different page. There is no save button after checking the iCal Calendar I created.

https://collateral.bamboohr.com/feeds/feed.php?id=97d1a210cbde98b4f8973530d35457b0

The iCal events are not showing up in my localendar calendar.
Please someone help on this matter.

Re: ical link does not work
The box does not have to stay checked; that's only for selecting a merged calendar to delete.

If you see the name of the calendar in your Merge list, then localendar has recorded the url correctly and will attempt to merge it in.

I suspect the reason you are not seeing events is the same reason member AASAFETY is also not seeing events from bamboohr.com: Their server is blocking requests from localendar to download the ics feed.

"The owner of this website (collateral.bamboohr.com) has banned your access based on your browser's signature (489a5417d2602162-ua19)"

If you ask bamboohr.com to disable the "Browser Integrity Check" in Cloudflare (the product they are using) then localendar should be able to access your ical feed.
