A hobby project in Python using Beautiful Soup 4 and Pandas which notifies you when you can pick up you exam from service center at Halmstad University.
A student should be able to sign up by sending an email to [email protected], formatted with one course-courseCode per line. Like this:
MA8080
FÖ1002
The Gmail-API makes a POST to a web service, which stores the info for later. We allow only signing up from a student email.
Upon registering, we send back a disclaimer-email that says that there are no guarantees for this program.
The Signing-Up-program should always be running and listening on a port for a POST-request.
This program should be runned periodically, ideally once a day. It checks for when the exams are ready for collection, and mails everyone in the state.csv accordingly. Should not be too hard to implement.
When an exam is ready for registration in Ladok, you should receive an email about that. This requires the merging of two datasets:
Should hopefully not be too hard to implement. After all, we don't want the KJ-tragedy to happen again.
The Registration-Notification program should also be ran periodically, ideally once a day.
The "State" is a file state.csv that holds some state for emails. We don't want to send duplicate emails, and as such we keep track of who we have sent mail to, and about what.
The structure should be a little bit like this.
| name | courseCode | firstRegistrationMail | lastRegistrationMail | collectMail | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jakob Lindskog | [email protected] | MA2020 | False | False | False |
| Jakob Lindskog | [email protected] | FÖ1002 | True | False | False |
| Andreas Häggström | [email protected] | MA2020 | False | False | False |
which allows easier translation to pandas dataframes than a hierarchical JSON.
