A command line interface for scientia for Imperial DoC students to download materials faster and easier.
Instantly download all materials in a nice directory structure on your machine! No need to download zipped directories, unzip them, replace exitsing files, etc.
Right now we only support automatic Linux installation, but the code should work for Windows and MacOS.
wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/goDoCer/scientiaCLI/main/linux-installer.sh | bashComing soon (Make an issue if you want this really quick)
- Login to Scientia.
scientia-cli login - Create a directory to save all your files to
mkdir <save-directory> - Set the save directory,
scientia-cli save-dir <save-directory>. - Download all the materials
scientia-cli download all
To download files for a particular course, you can run scientia-cli download course --code <COURSE CODE>.
Note that the download command only downloads files that have been updated on scientia. It will only download a file, if that file on scientia is newer than the file present on your machine. If you take notes directly in the provided slides/pdfs please run the download command with the --unmodified-only flag so that you do not lose your work (scientia-cli download --unmodified-only all).
Tip: You can set the save directory to a directory in your windows filesystem as well! for e.g. scientia-cli save-dir /mnt/c/Users/Pranav\ Bansal/Documents/Imperial/4th\ Year/
If you do not like the course folder names you can update the Go template used to generate them - scientia-cli set-templ "{{.Title}}" if you just want the course title or run scientia-cli set-templ {{.Code}} if you just want the course code. You can read more about Go templates here - https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/.
Your password and username are not stored anywhere. Only your refresh token and your access tokens are stored on your machine which are used for accessing the materials.
