UTCourseGuide

=============

UTCourseGuide crawls the UT Austin electronic Course Instructor Survey (eCIS) database to mine student feeback about UT courses, which it then re-displays to allow UT Students to have an easier time during registration.

Pre-requisites

-------------

UTCourseGuide is written in Python 2.7, which can be found here: 


https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7

It also requires the Scrapy python module, which can be found here: 


http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/intro/install.html

The second required module is Selenium, which can be found here: 


https://pypi.python.org/pypi/selenium

Usage

-------------

Run the webcrawler with the following command: 


scrapy crawl utcourseguide -a username=youreid -a password=yourschoolpassword

To have the data be stored as json, add the follwing flags: -o items.json -t json 


The full command would then be: 


scrapy crawl utcourseguide -a username=youreid -a password=yourschoolpassword -o items.json -t json
