Atlas to .ics

Export class schedules from atlas.ai.umich.edu as an .ics file

How to use

1. Clone this GitHub repository locally
2. You'll also need Python 3.10 or newer on your computer in order to run this program.
3. Rename secret.json.template to secret.json
4. Update the values in secret.json as necessary. password should set as your password to U-M Weblogin.
5. Create a virtual Python environment inside the root directory and install dependencies in the active virtual environment:

\\For Windows PowerShell:
python3 -m venv venv/
venv\Scripts\activate
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

\\For Linux or MacOS:
python3 -m venv venv/
source venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

6. Run main.py in your terminal. Be sure to have your phone nearby so that you will be able to verify the Duo Push request.

python main.py

7. An .ics file should have been created in the same directory as main.py
8. Import .ics file into your calendar

Limitations

• The scraper won't work if Atlas or Atlas Schedule Builder is down.
• The scraper doesn't take into account breaks, holidays, or other edge cases. You'll have to remove classes for fall/spring break.
