1 year ago I'd say we will push to the repo for posterity but it can be a hacky one (no unit test, ...).
It could be as simple as downloading the HTML, and do a simple regex There are packages like scrapy and beautiful soup that make this a breeze.
I'd spend something like 2-3 hours on it.
Feel free to post a short plan on the bug if you want to have feedback. Makes sense?
We want to scrape this web page and get useful information about students such as name, email, contact and any other which can be useful to contact them https://www.cs.umd.edu/people/phonebook/grad-student
We will not be pushing this script so feel free to do it in your way.
The end result would be a google spreadsheet file which contains all the useful information in readable format for each student.
