You may format ISO 8601 dates from the shell using

    date -Iseconds -d tomorrow

from Go using

    json.Marshal(time.Now().Add(time.Day)

and from Python by doing

    (datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(days = 1)).isoformat()

Not opposed, but you'd need to set your requirements more clearly.  Do you
want the whole "/groups" hierarchy to be fetched over HTTP on demand?
A subtree?  Individual groups?
