#Purdue Course Watcher
This is a simple node app that will spam you with text messages via twillio if slots open up in a course.
###Instructions
1. Clone the repo, copy `settings.example.js` into `settings.js`
2. Add your twillio phone number, authToken, and SID to the settings file, as well as the phone number you want the texts to go to. You'll need a Twillio account and number to do this.
3. Set the CRN and 'term' quantifier, as per the myPurdue course catalog
* i.e. for Fall2016, the term would be `201710`. This makes no sense but that's how it is.
* Spring 2017 is `201720`.
4. Start the watcher script, i'd recommend something like [pm2](https://github.com/Unitech/pm2) to keep it alive in the background. (It checks purdue servers every 1 minute.)
