ucbschedule

Code for scraping data from the UC Berkeley Schedule of Classes and analyzing it.

Requirements

The project requires Python 2.6 or 2.7 (untested with other versions), as well as several Python packages, including BeautifulSoup, Requests, and Flask.

Scraping

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.

Web Application

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.

Statistics

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
