UCSD Associated Students (AS) Instructor Grade Archive (IGA)

A simple API wrapper and web scraper for the UCSD Associated Students (AS) instructor grade archive.

Quickstart

Python Usage

Start by importing the GradeArchive class from the ucsdasiga package:

>>> from asiga import GradeArchive

GradeArchive class accepts 5 optional arguments:

Parameter	Type	Description
quarter	str	Filter results to the fall ("FA"), winter ("WI"), or spring ("SP").
year	int	Filter results to a specific year (r"^\d\d$").
instructor	str	Filter results to classes taught by a specific instructor (f"{last_name}, {first_name}"). [1]
subject	str	Filter results to classes in a specific department (r"^[A-Z]{3,4}$") (e.g., "CSE", "MCWP"). [2]
code	str	Filter results to a specific course number (r"^[0-9]{1,3}[A-Z]{0,2}$") (e.g., "11", "20").

• [1]: See the UCSD website for the faculty directory.
• [2]: See the UCSD website for a comprehensive list of active department subject codes.

The following Python call generates the grade archive of all CSE 11 classes (regardless of quarter and the instructor who taught the class) that occurred during the 2021 academic year:

>>> archive = GradeArchive(year=21, subject="CSE", code="11")
>>> archive.data()
