Resources Pages #70

Open mrnhtyzgld opened 4 months ago

mrnhtyzgld commented 4 months ago

I am trying to make a script that automatically fetches the resources of the given class. I was able to use your api for the most parts, but there is no resources support. Why is that? I am new to api stuff so i don't really get it. I read your article but i guess resources pages' http commands doesn't show(i guess?). After that i tried the solve this and I find the layout of the html tags of the each resources link, their name and their folder title so if i were to download the html of resources page after logging in i can find them. But of course i dont want to download that i just want to make it happen with request, bs4 etc. GPT said js cant be fetched with them but they are not js so i believe we can make this the unofficial api's part. I tried but struggle to make it happen. Can you give me some insight about it? Maybe we can add resource feature to this api together.

Scraping the HTML of the resources page for the class should work and from the table you can get the links and download them all. Unfortunately I don't have time to help you with this, but if you spend more time on this yourself, you should be able to figure this out.
