Albiruni Fetcher

Fetches subject information from IIUM'S Course Schedule and stores it in a local file.

Getting Started

Dart is required to run this project. You can download it from here.

dart bin\albiruni_fetcher.dart --session <session> --sem <semester>

Where <session> is the academic session (e.g., 2023/2024) and <semester> is the semester number (e.g., 1, 2, or 3).

The data will be saved to db/{session}/{semester}.{kulliyyah}.json.
