This is an initial attempt at reverse engineering gradescope to allow for automated submission and controlling other behaviour in an automated way as there is no official gradescope API.
Some initial endpoint info was gotten from this MIT paper.
This fork is used to handle grade transfer between Gradescope and other platforms. Various functions and objects have been updated to handle loading grade data and outputting to a csv to be uploaded elsewhere.
This is not an API wrapper in reality, and more of a scraping tool. Therefore a lot is done to minimize the ammount of requests done. As such we do expensive things like loading rosters lazily but all at once. This means we keep a lot of data locally (which is a space cost) but that allows us to not make network calls as often and lets us update the local copy alongside posts.
The primary structure used to interact with gradescope is the session. This is equivalent to going to the website
and hitting Log In and will give you access to the things you can access through the website normally.
session = GSConnection()
This creates a session but does not do any login work. This leaves the connection in an inactive state. In order to activate it you can call the following:
session.login('my@email.com', 'my_password')
