Class Schedules

I am encountering an issue turning Master Schedule + Class Sections + Cycles into a workable schedule for a given calendar date. Is there an easier way to build a schedule for a given user and date than going through all these different object types?

Currently there isn't a way to create a schedule without doing what you are describing. It sounds like you are looking for a daily schedule similar to what shows on the My Day page, does that sound right?

@Jared Harbour Yes, that is correct.

When I wrote a similar program for my school, I found that the process of chasing through the master schedule and schedules sets and meeting days for each section takes a lot of overhead and a lot of API calls. So I wrote the scheduled details for each section/term into a CSV file.

I have one program that does that work once per day (to include schedule tweaks made from time to time). I then have other programs that read that CSV file to produce the schedule for the individual student or teacher. (This requires additional API calls to get the person's academic schedule and calls to read Advanced Lists for activities and advisory section info.)
