VUBot

A script to post Quizzes, GDBs, and Assignments in Discord channel via WebHooks to alert the assignee.

Features

• Fetching Student's assigned GDBs, Quizzes and Assignments
• From (v1.2), we get any pending challans' as well! 😄
• Posting all that stuff in a Discord channel

How it works?

The script utilizies Web Applications source from VULMS. First it authenticates the user with his studentId and studentPassword and then creates and maintains a session. Utilizing that session, it accesses the ActivityCalendar.aspx file and gets the JSON containing the all data related to assigned stuff.

How to use?

Add the following environmental variables according to your credentials and then execute the script.

export USERNAME=bcXXXXXXXX
export PASSWORD=XXXXXXXXXXX
export WEBHOOK_URL=https://discord.com/api/webhooks/XXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx

python3 vu.py

Alternatively, you can hard-code the credentials in the creds.sh file, source it, and execute the script.

source creds.sh
python3 vu.py

vubot's Issues

[Enhancement] Changing symbol of heading while printing

[Enhancement] Changing symbol of heading while printing

Should probably change the symbol of headings, doesn't look nice this way.

[Bug] Timezone issue while running script on Heroku

[Bug] Timezone issue while running the script on Discord

Alright, so I'm glad I found it sooner. Since the timezone in the Heroku server will be different than Pakistan the date always gets printed wrong for start/end date (hehe). Thankfully didn't miss any GDBs/Quizzes. Pushing the fix commit soon.

[Bug] Can't fetch assignments (from mobile API)

The mobile application was shit. Now the assignment API doesn't work, sometimes it goes down.

Best way is to just use the web application (https://vulms.vu.edu.pk) instead, it's up almost all the time, will have to parse the shitty HTML content since there are no APIs on it ;__;

[Enhancement] Adding (today) with start/ending date

A minor enhancement, check if the date of start/end is of today, if yes, print (today) with it in the Discord server for ease of the user.

[Output formatting] GDBs data is clustered

As in the screenshot below, GDBs data is clustered while being printed in the Discord server. Since I only had one GDB assigned at the time of the creation of the script, wasn't able to test fully.

[Bug] Dates with -1 have print formatting issues

Removing 136-138 line numbers fix it. I'll be removing this now, will look for a permanent fix in future if it arises again.

if subtDate == -1:
    post        += f"[#] **{title}**\n"
    post        += f"Start date: {startDate}\n"
