Please double-check the data

Often professors will embed videos that require authentication to view, etc. At time of writing, this script does not handle such embeds. Please make sure you can view all resources offline without connecting to a server before calling your import done.

Docker

A Docker image is provided for convenience. You can configure it to write to a data directory of your choice. To make a data directory named data and bind mount it to the Docker container, perform the following commands:

mkdir ./data

docker run \
  -u "$(id -u)" \
  -v "$(pwd)"/data:/usr/src/app/data \
  withchristopher/scrape-data:0.1 \
  https://institution.canvas-address.edu \
  canvas-api-key \
  ./data \
  all

The last option, all, can be replaced with a comma-separated list of course ids.
