Automatically download recently uploaded files from Luminus. I personally use pyFluminus to download files into Dropbox so that I can view all my modules' files on any device.
PRs are welcome
Features (at parity with fluminus)
- Authentication via ADFS (vafs.nus.edu.sg)
- Get name of student
- Get list of modules
- Taking/Teaching
- Only this semester's modules
- Get announcements
- Get listing of workbin files and download them
- Get listing of webcasts and download them
- Get listing of weekly lesson plans and their associated files
To download your files:
mkdir /tmp/fluminus
python pyfluminus_cli.py -username="e123456" -password="passw0rd" --download-to=/tmp/luminus
If you are uncomfortable with having to pass your credentials in as plaintext you can instead save it as environment variables: LUMINUS_USERNAME, LUMINUS_PASSWORD and pass in the --env flag.
This downloads files of all your modules to the directory specified. To download files again simply do:
python pyfluminus_cli.py -username="e123456" -password="passw0rd" --download-to=/tmp/luminus
More information can be found in the help page:
usage: pyfluminus_cli.py [-h] [-username USERNAME] [-password PASSWORD]
[--env] [--download_to DOWNLOAD_TO] [--ignore IGNORE]
CLI wrapper to pyfluminus
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-username USERNAME NUSNET username, e.g. e01234
-password PASSWORD NUSNET password
--env Get username and password from environment variables
--download_to DOWNLOAD_TO
Download destination
--ignore IGNORE Comma separated list of modules to ignore (e.g.
CS1231,CS4321)
--announcements Display announcements
The original goal for this project was a barebones CLI interface for downloading LumiNUS files. I can imagine that a GUI wrapper would be a strong use case and a useful tool for users not comfortable with CLI tools. You can see a working example here.
To assist with that, there is the pyfluminus.fluminus.get_links_for_module utility function that returns all of the download links of a module.
Example use case:
from pyfluminus.authorization import vafs_jwt
from pyfluminus import fluminus
from pyfluminus.structs import Module
modules_res = api.modules(auth)
if not modules_res.ok:
print("Error: ", modules_res.error_msg)
modules = modules_res.data
for module in modules:
if module is None:
continue
print("{} {}".format(module.code, module.name))
data = fluminus.get_links_for_module(auth, module)
print(data)Example output:

Which is a useful data source to build a GUI around.
