viggoscrape 1.0.5

Python library for scraping viggo assignments

Viggoscrape

Python library for scraping Viggo assignments.

This library is designed for danish users, and time will be adjusted to the CET timezone.

Quickstart

Information syntax

To use Viggoscrape, you need to provide it with login info and a subdomain.

Subdomain

For your subdomain, specify only the subdomain, like this:

subdomain-example

And not like this:

subdomain-example.viggo.dk

Login info

The login info uses 3 pieces of information:

• Username
• Password
• Fingerprint

The first two items are obvious. But to find your fingerprint, you'll need to look through the html of your login page's source code, and look for a ViggoLog=x value.

Usage example

Let's try this out! We'll import the library, give it the required info and print the resulting dictionary.

from viggoscrape import get_assignments
subdomain = "subdomain-example"
login_info = {
    "USERNAME": "[e-mail]",
    "PASSWORD": "Password1234",
    "FINGERPRINT": "ViggoLog=f8f567-19t7-5hg7-d68n-and85mba2"
}
assignment_data = get_assignments(subdomain, login_info)
print(assignment_data)

Our output would look something like this:

{
    "subject": ["English", "Math"],
    "time": ["31. aug 12:00", "2. sep 08:55"],
    "description": ["Read pages 30 and 31", "Finish A, B and C"],
    "author": ["28. aug 11:25 by John Doe", "31. aug 15:30 by Peter Anker"],
    "files": ["None", "example.com/algebra.pdf"],
    "file_names": ["None", "Intro to algebra"],
    "url": ["https://example-subdomain.viggo.dk/Basic/HomewordAndAssignment/Details/1234/#modal", "https://example-subdomain.viggo.dk/Basic/HomewordAndAssignment/Details/1235/#modal"]
}

Now, you can do anything you want with this newfound data, like save it to a json file, create an embed for your discord bot, or any other purpose. Just use the same index on all lists and the data should match.
