A simple tool to download files from Ufora (Brightspace) automatically using the BrightSpace API. The tool can download files and create PDF summaries of metadata of files and modules.
For fun purposes ONLY.
sudo apt install python3-venv
sudo apt install wkhtmltopdf
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt
This tool will need your credentials. These can be configured once and will be saved to credentials.json in plaintext, due to a lack of a better alternative.
