See blackjack or Kronos. https://github.com/metakgp/blackjack No urgency on this one though.

@kshitij10496 Why did you label it as herculean-task? This is a rather simple issue.

kshitij10496 commented 5 years ago

I think this would be far more complicated because we will have to create new tables and might have to alter the current ones. 😄 Moreover, there are a couple of other semantic reasons as well:

  1. This task involves porting scrapper programs between libraries, specifically from blackjack-Kronos to hercules.
  2. The solution to this issue forms the basis for building the API for Kronos, which in-turn would be a herculean-task.

I see, I didn't take into account the part where you think about building API for Kronos. We will be needing all sort of details about courses.... like syllabus, room-allotted for current sem, Prof taking the course currently, and history of the grade distributions, dept. etc. Also the syllabus also needs to be extracted for each course.
