Note: If you're just curious about using the Shibboleth/WebISO authentication, take a look at auth.py.
CMU-Grades is a Python app for CMU students which will text you via Twilio whenever you get new grades on Blackboard, Autolab, or Academic Audit (i.e. final grades).
To setup, first you need to install pip and run pip install -r requirements.txt.
Then, to use the provided authorization functions, you need to change your config.py file to look like:
USERNAME = 'ANDREWID'
PASSWORD = 'YOURPASSWORD'
ACCOUNT_SID = 'TWILIO_ACCOUNT_ID'
AUTH_TOKEN = 'TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN'
PHONE_NUMBER = '+YOUR_PHONE_NUMBER'
TWILIO_NUMBER = '+TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER'
EMAIL = 'YOUR EMAIL'
EMAIL_PASSWORD = 'YOUR EMAIL PASSWORD'
NAME = 'YOUR NAME'As you can see, using an automated login requires storing your password. Hence, I do not endorse the use of this API on the grounds of security--storing your password somewhere is bad! But, you know, if you really need automated logins, the option is there. I personally base64 encoded my password so it's not immediately obvious when you open the file.
To install the texting service, run python app.py install_text. Similarly, to install the email service, run python app.py install_email.
To uninstall a service, run python app.py uninstall_text or python app.py uninstall_email.
