Scrapper no longer needed

[devadathanmb]

Hey there. KTU recently completely shifted their website to React and started making use of APIs for almost everything in their page. So this project might require a rewrite at some parts. Good thing is that we don't need to go through the pain of scraping anymore.

I have hacked together some code and tried to make a replica of this in typescript (see here) although I still haven't tested it out completely yet.

Interesting to see that KTU finally updated their website.

I am no longer a student of KTU, hence not actively updating this project. However any contributions to this project are welcome!

They have indeed tried to make this website (the current one in react) live several times before this I guess but after a while they rolled back to the old version. Now I guess it's going to stay.

This project was basically my motivation for writing my own version for the updated website. I guess only the scrapper part needs to be rewritten and rest everything could stay.

Yep, replacing scrapper with an api integration would make this work as expected.

Also I checked out the bot you created, and I saw the ui and buttons for viewing notifications, which is possible due to the new api, so I think the api could further create more optimisations and better UX for this bot as well.
