PyBlackboard-LMS

Python and command-line interfaces for Blackboard LMS API.

blackboard_api is a Python module that provides Blackboard LMS API interfaces. It features:

• Resilient HTTP transport and OAuth authentication.
• API quota tracking.
• A write lock that blocks mutating operations before they reach Blackboard.
• Transparent pagination for object collections.
• Iterators for consuming large result sets without accumulating every item in memory.
• An abstraction layer that provides human-oriented methods for doing the most common tasks.

blackboard-cli is a command-line tool that exposes the methods provided by blackboard_api and can export data as JSON, CSV, or Microsoft Excel files. It is intended as a data exploration and management tool for Blackboard administrators.
