The sigarra scraping library no one asked for

Feupy is a Python library that provides an interface to FEUP's information system, SIGARRA. SIGARRA stands for Sistema de Informação para Gestão Agregada dos Recursos e dos Registos Académicos (Academic Register and Aggregated Resource Management Information System, give or take).

All web requests that don't need a special permission (that is, you don't need to log in to see the page) are stored in a persistent cache with timeouts, in order to minimize latency and the number of requests made to sigarra. All web requests that need a special permission (i.e. you need to be logged in) are stored in a non-persistent cache.

Examples

Logging in

>>> # For a function to be able to access pages where you need to be logged in,
>>> # you need to pass a Credentials object as an argument to that function.
>>> 
>>> # You can tell whether or not a function needs a Credentials object by
>>> # checking if the function needs a parameter called "credentials"
>>> 
>>> from feupy import Credentials
>>> 
>>> credentials = Credentials()
