SIDING Courses

Scrap courses from SIDING.

Installation

Run npm i siding-courses.

Usage

const sidingScraper = require('siding-courses');

sidingScraper('your-siding-username', 'your-siding-password', msDelay, dir).then(() => {
  // The results have now been saved in your specified dir.
}).catch(err => {
  console.log(err);
});

If no msDelay between successive term requests is specified, it will default to 3000 (3s). It is important to give a delay in order to avoid making too many requests in a very short amount of time.

If no output dir is specified, it will default to ./data.json.

Results will have the following structure:

[
  ..., {
    id: 'course-id',
    initials: 'course-initials',
    name: 'course-name',
    year: 'course-year',
    term: 'course-term',
    section: 'course-section',
    department: 'course-department'
  }, ...
]
