Uses selenium to login to vtop and scrape all user details
To enter credentials go to the following filepath:VTOP-Scraper/app/src/main/java/com/scraper/utilities/config.json
Enter the user name and password at the mentioned location, resolve dependencies in pom.xml and run App.java.
Make sure you have maven installed.
To solve captcha a javascript is executed but it can't solve google reCaptcha. To avoid user intervention the login page is refreshed until the captchStr element can be located in the html.
If any unexpected pop up message shows up upon logging in, the javascripts fail to execute. For eg: malpractice notice during examinations.
Each js file under VTOP-Scraper/app/src/main/java/com/scraper/utilities has a placeholder semId, this is replaced by the current semester ID using data.json which saves the response given by running scraper.js (other than scraper.js no other javascript file can be executed alone without replacing the placeholder semId with the desired semID).
All javascripts are executed using a single function call which takes the filepath of the js and save location of response as arguments in the main function. Which means more scripts can be easily added without needing to touch other functions (solveCaptcha function needs to run before any js can be executed).
To see the dependencies open pom.xml.
