Skylight Calendar

Control Skylight Calendar frame via the unofficial API.

Setup

Set environment variables:

• SKYLIGHT_URL: Base URL (default: https://app.ourskylight.com)
• SKYLIGHT_FRAME_ID: Your frame (household) ID — find this by logging into ourskylight.com, clicking your calendar, and copying the number from the URL (e.g., 4197102 from https://ourskylight.com/calendar/4197102)

Authentication (choose one):

Option A - Email/Password (recommended):

• SKYLIGHT_EMAIL: Your Skylight account email
• SKYLIGHT_PASSWORD: Your Skylight account password

Option B - Pre-captured token:

• SKYLIGHT_TOKEN: Full Authorization header value (e.g., Basic abc123...)

Authentication

Option A: Login with Email/Password (Recommended)

Generate a token by logging in with email and password:

# Login and get user credentials
LOGIN_RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST "$SKYLIGHT_URL/api/sessions" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "email": "'"$SKYLIGHT_EMAIL"'",
    "password": "'"$SKYLIGHT_PASSWORD"'",
    "name": "",
    "phone": "",
    "resettingPassword": "false",
    "textMeTheApp": "true",
    "agreedToMarketing": "true"
  }')

# Extract user_id and user_token from response
USER_ID=$(echo "$LOGIN_RESPONSE" | jq -r '.data.id')
USER_TOKEN=$(echo "$LOGIN_RESPONSE" | jq -r '.data.attributes.token')

# Generate Basic auth token (base64 of user_id:user_token)
SKYLIGHT_TOKEN="Basic $(echo -n "${USER_ID}:${USER_TOKEN}" | base64)"

# Now use $SKYLIGHT_TOKEN for all API requests

The login endpoint returns:

• data.id: User ID
• data.attributes.token: User token

Combine as {user_id}:{user_token} and base64 encode for Basic auth.

Option B: Capture Token via Proxy

If you prefer to capture a token manually:

1. Install Proxyman/Charles/mitmproxy and trust root certificate
2. Enable SSL proxying for app.ourskylight.com
3. Log into Skylight app and capture any API request
4. Copy Authorization header value (e.g., Basic <token>)

Tokens rotate on logout; recapture after re-login.

API Format

Responses use JSON:API format with data, included, and relationships fields.
