Catalog Data Acquisition

Prerequisites

Requires Python3 and BeautifulSoup4:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Getting Department Urls

The course description page gives a list of departments urls.

python3 get_department_urls.py should be run first to generate department_urls.obj.

Getting Courses / Prereqs

python3 get_courses.py generates courses.obj. This object lists courses in the format

{ "ME 250", "ENGR 248 with C or better and (PH 211 [C] or PH 211H [C])" }

Prerequisite strings still need to be parsed.
