Basic API design

dscream. Login Mechanism . Command . Formatter

Login Mechanisms

• login_saved(): Credentials in a Python file. Awesome.

Commands

• courses()
• grades()
• assignments()

Also:

• using(course): Commands are scoped to the specified course

Formatters

• json()

Eventually:

• csv()
• yaml()
• text(), text_short(), text_long(), custom(): For the command-line
• ics(): For stuff that can be shoved in a calendar
• sql(): So you can shove the data in SQLite
• visual(): For timetables only (HTML)
