USOSweb Automated - with Python!

This package provides functionality to automate tasks on the USOSweb Interface.

It also adds support for the most needed and requested feature of all time - notifications!

Setup takes only 5 minutes and extending the script’s functionality is a child’s play.

The app uses Selenium for navigating the interface and BeautifulSoup4 for parsing in the ScrapingTemplates.
