BingCourseSniper

(Thanks to Henry for the original inspiration & code @HenryBurns/CoRE_project)

Sometimes a course is full without a waitlist, you know they'll be more spots, but you want to make sure you're the first to get them.

What it does

CourseSniper polls Binghamton's servers every 30-60 seconds at random to see if the courses you requested are open. If they are, it launches a browser and registers you for them.

Installation

Note you must use Python 3.6+ in order for notifications to work

   $ git clone https://github.com/babbitt/BingCourseSniper.git
2. cd into the repo

Examples

This is the simplest form of the program run for the fall semester with CRN 123
python3 sniper.py 'fall' 123 'jdoe1' 'password'

Now with multiple CRNs (123 & 456)
python3 sniper.py 'fall' 123 456 'jdoe1' 'password'

Now with Notify.run notifications (This will allow you to keep up to date on another device with the status)
python3 sniper.py 'fall' 123 456 'jdoe1' 'password' --notify_run

And finally with PushBullet notifications instead of Notify.run
python3 sniper.py 'fall' 123 456 'jdoe1' 'password' --push_bullet 'myAPIkey'
