## Project Description
By applying web scraping techniques and parsing HTML documentation from Coursicle usign the BeautifulSoup4 library, a list of all professors who previously taught a given class was efficiently retrieved. Each entry includes the professor's name, a direct link to their profile, and their rating (if available), enabling quick access to relevant course data. This streamlined approach allows for fast and organized collection of instructor information.

## Potential Info
### How to Use
1. Open your preferred code editor and navigate to the `cd Coursicle\coursicle` to enter directory
2. Activate the virtual environment by running: `venv/scripts/activate` (If not working, use: `Unblock-File -Path ".\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1"`)
3. Install the required libraries by running: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
4. Run grabing: `py grabing.py`
5. Enter course name (abbreviated) and course number
### Bugs / Warnings
The default is set to Binghamton University, so you can change it if you'd like. Also, use the appropriate course name and number as it uses a url to pull the information, meaning a non-existent url will result in an error. You cannot repeatedly use this as coursicle has a captcha set up, which my program isn't designed to bypass. Repeatedly doing this may bypass Coursicle's Terms of Service, so I advice not to do this. Consider the ethics before you continue.
