DSCE End Semester Results Scraper

This script scrapes all the end-semester results from the DSCE result portal and processes the data into downloadable PDFs.

Features

  • Fetches and downloads results for all students based on their USNs.
  • Saves the result PDFs into organized directories based on branch codes.
  • Simple and quick to set up.

Prerequisites

Setup Instructions

  1. Clone the Repository:

    git clone https://github.com/govindup63/result-scraper.git
cd result-scraper

  2. Install Dependencies:

    npm install

  3. Configure the Environment Variables:

    • Rename .env.example to .env.
    • Update the USN variable in .env with the correct DSCE result URL.

    Example .env file:

    USN='http://XX.XX.XXX.XXX:8080/birt/frameset?__report=mydsi/exam/Exam_Result_Sheet_dsce.rptdesign&__format=pdf'

  4. Run the Script:

    npm run dev

How It Works

  1. The script reads the URL from the .env file.
  2. It makes requests to the DSCE result portal to fetch individual PDFs for each student.
  3. Results are saved in directories organized by branch codes and student USNs.

Notes

  • Ensure the URL provided in the .env file is valid and accessible.
  • The script assumes the DSCE portal follows a consistent format for USNs and branches.

Troubleshooting

  • If the script fails to fetch data:
    • Verify that the URL in the .env file is correct and reachable.
    • Check your internet connection and portal access permissions.
  • If the output directory is not created:
    • Ensure the script has write permissions to the project folder.
