This webapp displays previous year's grade distribution. It has been deployed on heroku as an app and is funcitonal.

Python packages required:

• Install flask: pip3 install Flask

• Install PIL: pip3 install Pillow

• Install matplotlib: pip3 install matplotlib

• Install json: pip3 install json

• Commands for running flask:

  export FLASK_APP=app.py
  python3 app.py
  

• In a web browser, open link: http://localhost:5000/

• Install json: pip install json

• Install regex/re : pip install regex

This has two steps:

1. Login to your erp account. Go to Student Academic Activities (UG) section in Academic. This gives you a cookie for accesing the /Acad route. You will not be able to mine the grades without this.

2.Get the content of the JSID#/Acad named cookie set by ERP. Most web browsers enable you to view cookies from settings . It should be something like '0906E89CA7F4BDDE983B34012BDFFA08.worker3'. Update this in getNewGrades.py under the cookie variable.

(This will only work if done after adding cookie of your session.)

Run the following code:

python getNewGrades.py <YearSemester>

The command line argument string passed should have both Year and semester for which the grades are being displayed on erp. Example : If you update grades at the end of spring 2019, then pass the argument as 2019Spring or prefereably something similar covering same information.
