I'm having a go at doing my own fork. Do I need to use ics or source

[M0TFF]

This is as much as I know from my own research.

Sample URL is: https://www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/find-my-nearest/WV60DU/10007117025
WV60DU: is the postcode.
10007117025: is the UPRN number

I'm very new to this so learning as I go, thanks for any help.

They do not offer a ICS file (very few UK councils do), so you need to write a individual source.

It probably needs to look something like this

# Usual Source deffinitions (see contributing guide)
...



API_URL  = "https://www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/find-my-nearest/{postcode}/{uprn}"
class Source:
    def __init__(self, postcode:str,  uprn:str|int):
        self._postcode = postcode.replace(" ",  "").upper().strip()
        self._uprn = str(uprn).strip()

    def fetch(self) -> List[Collection]:
        r = requests.get(API_URL.format(postcode=self._postcode, uprn=self._uprn))
        r.raise_for_status()
        soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'html.parser')

        entries = []
        ... # parse the page to get the collection dates
        return entries
