Code for scraping data from the UC Berkeley Schedule of Classes and analyzing it.
The project requires Python 2.6 or 2.7 (untested with other versions), as well as several Python packages, including BeautifulSoup, Requests, and Flask.
Use runscraper.py to run the scrapers. There are two:
- Department scraper (
dept_scraper.py): Scrapes department names and abbreviations from ScheduleBuilder. - Section scraper (
section_scraper.py): Scrapes all info from the UCB Schedule of Classes for today.
ucbschedule.py is a Flask application that provides an API and views
for the statistics of the data set. The API is provided using
Flask-Restless.
Currently, the following information is extracted:
- Which classes have the most enrolled or waitlisted students as a percentage of their seat limit
- Which classes have the highest seat limit
- Which rooms are used the most
