This program is the server back-end of schedubuddy, a schedule generator for the University of Alberta. This codebase handles the construction of a local database which it then uses itself. Raw data is processed to generate several schedules for a queried list of courses, and then ranked and filtered according to user preferences. This is useful for when a student knows the courses they wish to take, and wants to create an optimal schedule. Minimum supported Python version is 3.10
Run scrape.py in the util folder.
The Catalogue site changes the HTML occasionally,
and usually this is the file that will need correcting if that's the case.
This will scrape all the courses listed on the catalogue,
and generate a raw.json which contains characterizing information for each course instance. Afterward, run make_local_db.py to create the SQLite DB the backend queries.
You can then run the flask app and check that classes were added, updated (prof info), or removed. We only track current and future terms.
TODO. For now, the endpoints are available in app.py. Feel free to use the deployed Schedubuddy API at https://schedubuddy1.herokuapp.com//api/v1/ for your own projects.
