Multi-Account-LMS-Attendance-Proxy-Bot

In one go, mark attendance on LMS from multiple accounts.

Changelog

• 17/2/23
  Previously, there was a huge flaw that the bot would start working only after the attendance password was input. If the pages were slow to load, the bot would've missed the 15 second window and erroneously entered the old password, only to start the process all over again.
  Now, the bot auto-logins to LMS and inputs attendance password parallelly. Several accounts/windows can be opened while password is entered within the plentiful 15 second windows.
  Enter the password after you see that the atttendance pages on all windows have loaded for attendance to be marked instantly. Simply replace the old bot.py with the new one.

Usage

This program auto-logins multiple accounts on LMS simultaneously using the credentials you provide in credentials.json and marks their attendance in the course you select using the attendance password you enter.

Run bot.py as you would any python program.

eg.

python3 bot.py
