Welcome to AttendanceUC, a barcode attendance system for HackUC II using AirTable, PyBarcode, and Python3. Though we designed it specifically for our event, it is generally applicable to any event.

How to Use the Barcode Generator

Here are some general steps for setting up the Barcode Generator for your event.

Setting up your API Keys

Go to this page on AirTable and this page on Filestack to generate your API keys.

Installing Dependencies

Setting Up your Environment

To set up your API key, you have to modify the barcodeGenerator/airtableSecret.json file:

    "AIRTABLE_URL": "INSERT_URL_HERE"
}
