Expose city name and registration information (open date/time, base fee) #16

Open JonEsparaz opened 11 months ago

Speedcubing Canada would like to automate generation of our competition announcement graphics. Example: https://www.instagram.com/p/CvDBfiZrNrX

Data that we have in the graphic, but is currently missing from the WCIF export: cityName, registration_open, and base_entry_fee_lowest_denomination (and I guess currency_code for completeness).

I would like to propose exposing at least this additional data (possibly more if it makes sense to also include registration_close as an example). Having this data in the export would be preferred over web scraping and I imagine that other ROs could benefit from this data if they are also seeking to automate competition announcements (perhaps for their own graphics or a mailing list).

Nice idea, but unlikely that we will work out a complete specification before Worlds. Keeping this open for future reference :)
