So, I keep clock times for work in org mode, this is very
handy. However, my customers require that I use their service to
provide the times. They do offer API. So basically I'm using elisp to
parse org, make API calls, and at the same time generate CSV reports
with a Python interop with org babel (because my elisp is just too bad
to do that). If I had access to some org parser, I'd pick a language
that would be more comfortable for me to get the job done. I guess it
can all be done in elisp, however this is just a tool for me alone and
I have limited time resources on hacking things for myself :)
I was in the exact same situation - I use Org-mode clocking, and we use
Toggl at our company, so I wrote a simple tool to fire API requests to
Toggl on clock start/cancel/end: https://github.com/mbork/org-toggl
It's a bit more than 200 lines of Elisp, so you might try to look into
it and adapt it to whatever tool your employer is using.
Another one is generating total hours report for day/week/month to put
into my awesomewm toolbar. I ended up using orgstat
https://github.com/volhovM/orgstat
however the author is creating his own DSL in YAML and I guess things
were much better off if it all stayed in some Scheme :)
Wow, another awesomewm user here; could you share your code?
Best,
