Let’s face it, loadshedding sucks.
To make something good of a bad situation and have some fun in the process, we have teamed up with EskomSePush and we challenge you to build something with their API that knocks our socks off!
EskomSePush will be giving those that participate exclusive access to their API for the duration of the challenge, and there will be some awesome EskomSePush and OfferZen socks up for grabs for those that submit a build.
You can participate alone or as part of a team. You can be part of multiple teams if you want to.
We have opened this to members of the OfferZen Programmable Banking community and those in the ZATech Slack community that are already interested in building with the EskomSePush API.
Registration will close on Friday 14th October at 16h00.
Once you register for the build challenge, you will receive an email with a token for the EskomSePush API.
Absolutely!
If you don’t have any idea’s about what to build, we’ve got you covered. You can use these ideas or bring your own.
Each submission must include:

Keep it simple. If your solution saves someone 5 minutes a week - that's a meaningful impact on a real person's life!
Try to find smart workarounds if a platform limits you. Your solution doesn't need to be rolled out at scale right now.
Ensure it works in production.
Join us even if you just want to chill and watch other people build!

Everyone that submits a build will receive a pair of EskomSePush or OfferZen socks!
