Overview

I quickly grew weary of having to constantly log into my university's website to peek at the lecture timetable, since it logs you out every few minutes. pjatk-timetable-scraper aims to alleviate this problem by scraping the timetable off the servers and pretty-printing it to terminal output.

Installation

You'll need to install Rust and build the project yourself, since the website credentials are added to the binary at compile time.

Once you've installed the Rust toolchain, you'll need to rename .env_example to .env, populate it with your credentials, and run sudo cargo install --path . --root /usr/local/ in the project directory.

You're all set!

Running the project

Simply type pjatk-timetable-scraper into your favourite terminal. For more info, check out pjatk-timetable-scraper --help.

If I were you, I'd probably set up a shorthand by adding alias plan='pjatk-timetable-scraper' to your shell profile.

Enjoy!

Additional info

The project was tested using Rust 1.56.0 (Stable) on macOS 12.0.1 Monterey (arm64).
