publishing new events at researchseminars

[akhmerov]

The token is already in the secrets, and their API is at https://researchseminars.org/api

I propose a new python file, called from the register-new-zoom-talk bot, that using the API:

• Checks if the seminar series exists

• Creates it if not

• Edits the series to add the new timeslot *

• Create a new talk at that timeslot with all the info

• Not (yet) entirely sure if the series editing is necessary directly, or whether adding a talk with a timestamp (https://github.com/roed314/seminars/blob/master/Schema.md) is sufficient.

Reopening since we need to reenable it, and I think the code is buggy now (my linter complains about missing authorization argument right now).

We should pick at least one of the topics listed here, for the SC (and LRC): https://researchseminars.org/api/0/topics

@akhmerov I'm testing the code we have again before pinging, since I can see some API items have been updated on the researchseminar side. I attempted to create a new seminarseries (id 'vsfspeakerscorner'), and am getting a success message. It may be that you have to confirm this when logging in, could you check (no rush)? No longer required

WIP update on previous attempt: The 'speakerscorner' seminar series exists, and when I use the API to add a talk I get a success message (+ the talk counter succesfully increases), but they do not show up (neither on the website, nor via other API requests to check talks).

I managed to manually create the series in the meantime, and requested an API token myself for easier testing

I checked, and all the talks are there, just pending approval. We can do the following:

• Turn the API on
• Manually approve the talks
• After we ensure that everything works, request disabling manual approval
