#Purdue Course Watcher This is a simple node app that will spam you with text messages via twillio if slots open up in a course.

###Instructions

  1. Clone the repo, copy settings.example.js into settings.js
  2. Add your twillio phone number, authToken, and SID to the settings file, as well as the phone number you want the texts to go to. You'll need a Twillio account and number to do this.
  3. Set the CRN and 'term' quantifier, as per the myPurdue course catalog
    • i.e. for Fall2016, the term would be 201710. This makes no sense but that's how it is.
    • Spring 2017 is 201720.
  4. Start the watcher script, i'd recommend something like pm2 to keep it alive in the background. (It checks purdue servers every 1 minute.)
