# ReCollect

ReCollect is supported by the generic [ICS](/doc/source/ics.md) source. For all available configuration options, please refer to the source description.


## How to get the configuration arguments

- To get the URL, search your address in the recollect form of your home town.
- Click "Get a calendar", then "Add to Google Calendar".
- The URL shown is your ICS calendar link, for example.
  ```plain
  https://recollect.a.ssl.fastly.net/api/places/BCCDF30E-578B-11E4-AD38-5839C200407A/services/208/events.en.ics?client_id=6FBD18FE-167B-11EC-992A-C843A7F05606
  ```
- You can strip the client ID URL parameter to get the final URL: `https://recollect.a.ssl.fastly.net/api/places/BCCDF30E-578B-11E4-AD38-5839C200407A/services/208/events.en.ics`
