Chalmers Search Exam

Library and CLI to search for your exam at Chalmers.

Usage

The library only exports the searchExam function and some types. The function takes a search query which is used with the Chalmers API to get a list of exams. If the query is a course code then results for other course codes will be filtered out.

See the example below:

import { searchExam, Exam } from 'chalmers-search-exam'

async function printExamStart(courseCode: string) {
    const exams: Exam[] = await searchExam(courseCode)
    console.log(exams[0].start)
}

printExamStart('TDA553') // Output: 2026-03-19T13:00:00.000Z

CLI

Chalmers Search Exam comes with a CLI which allows you to search for exams.

Usage

The CLI is very simple and only has a single argument, the search query.

For example:

$ cthexam TDA553
