Python client to UC3M Aula Global

This small python script allows you to download all the content from your UC3M Aula Global courses (.pdf, .docx, .pptx, etc.). It works as a crawler, checking the site for files as if it was you with your browser.

Usage

Download the repository as zip, clone it with git, or just use curl to get only the script. On GNU/Linux or MacOS:

curl -o aulaglobal.py "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tairosonloa/Aula_Global_UC3M/master/aulaglobal.py"
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
python3 aulaglobal.py

Requirements

Python version 3.7 or above is required to run the script. Also, you'll need two libraries: mechanize and beautifoulsoup.

Most of GNU/Linux distributions call the python package as "python3". To install dependences on Debian based GNU/Linux distros (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, ...):

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

To install dependences on MacOS:

xcode-select --install
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install python3
python3 get-pip.py
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
