Bakalapi Python Library

A Python library for accessing the Bakalapi timetable API. This library provides a simple interface to query timetable information by teacher, room, or class.

Installation

Install from local directory

If you have the source code, you can install it directly:

pip install .

Or in development mode (editable install):

pip install -e .

Install from PyPI (if published)

If the package is published to PyPI, you can install it with:

pip install bakalapi

Development Installation

For development, you can also install dependencies separately:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Basic Usage

from bakalapi import BakalapiClient

# Create a client instance
client = BakalapiClient()

# Get timetable by teacher
timetable = client.get_teacher_timetable("Hana Jaitnerová")
print(f"Found {len(timetable.timetable)} entries")
for entry in timetable.timetable:
    print(f"{entry.date} {entry.time}: {entry.subject} - {entry.class_name}")

# Get timetable by room
timetable = client.get_room_timetable("a1")
print(f"Room a1 has {len(timetable.timetable)} scheduled entries")

# Get timetable by class
timetable = client.get_class_timetable("4.B Sk1")
print(f"Class 4.B Sk1 has {len(timetable.timetable)} scheduled entries")

# Close the client when done
client.close()

Using Context Manager

from bakalapi import BakalapiClient

with BakalapiClient() as client:
    timetable = client.get_teacher_timetable("Mgr. Hana Jaitnerová")
    # Client is automatically closed when exiting the context

Accessing Data

The library provides structured data models:

from bakalapi import BakalapiClient

client = BakalapiClient()
timetable = client.get_teacher_timetable("Mgr. Hana Jaitnerová")

# Access hour definitions
for hour in timetable.hours:
    print(f"Hour {hour.number}: {hour.start_time} - {hour.end_time}")

# Access timetable entries
for entry in timetable.timetable:
    print(f"Day: {entry.day}")
    print(f"Date: {entry.date}")
    print(f"Time: {entry.time}")
    print(f"Subject: {entry.subject}")
    print(f"Teacher: {entry.teacher}")
    print(f"Room: {entry.room}")
    print(f"Class: {entry.class_name}")
    print(f"Theme: {entry.theme}")
    print(f"Change info: {entry.changeinfo}")
    print("---")

Error Handling

from bakalapi import BakalapiClient, BakalapiAPIError

client = BakalapiClient()

try:
    timetable = client.get_teacher_timetable("Non-existent Teacher")
except BakalapiAPIError as e:
    print(f"API Error: {e}")
    print(f"Status Code: {e.status_code}")
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Invalid parameter: {e}")

1. Install build tools:

   pip install build twine
   

2. Build the package:

   python -m build
   

3. Upload to PyPI (test first with TestPyPI):
