Dates Scraper

[kashav]

• UTMCalendar changed to UTMDates

• Add UTSGDates

  • ArtSciDates - http://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current/course/timetable/
  • EngDates - http://www.undergrad.engineering.utoronto.ca/About/Dates_Deadlines.htm
  • Sometimes this calendar throws a "cannot find content" error (while scraping), but response status is still 200. Right now, it makes 5 attempts and ignores that month if those fail. Could it be the request headers?

  • I was unsure what the session should be for this scraper – it's currently <YEAR> ENGINEERING. We could choose a session (fall/winter/summer) based on the month, but we may run into some odd cases (this is completely hypothetical):

    {
    "date": "2016-04-05",
    "events": [{
      "end_date": "2016-04-05",
      "session": "2016 WINTER",
      "campus": "UTSG",
      "description": "First day for course enrolment for the summer term." // in ArtSci, UTM this would fall under the `2016 SUMMER` session.
    }]
    }
