google_classroom_assignment_list

Hi, this is a simple program written in python to use the google classroom api to list out your assignments. Missing assignments are listed in big, scary red as well as have a prefix of Late: so they can be copied and pasted into something from your terminal.

Instructions:

1. Run $ git clone https://github.com/greembow/google_classroom_assignment_list
2. Go to Google's Cloud Console
   • NOTE: You will probably have to create your API credentials with a personal google account, as most school districts block creating API credentials
3. Create a new project
   1. Click the dropdown at the top
   2. Click New Project
   3. Set the project name to anything
4. Enable the Google Classroom API
   1. Click the dropdown at the top left
   2. Click APIs & Services
   3. Click Library
   4. Search for Classroom

5. Setup a OAuth Screen

   7. Click Save and Continue
   8. Click Save and Continue
   9. Click Add Users
   10. Add your school email, or whatever email Google Classroom data will be retrieved from.
   11. Click Add
   12. Click Save and Continue
   13. Click Back to Dashboard
6. Get credentials.json
   1. Click the dropdown at the top left

   1. Run $ cd google_classroom_assignment_list/
   2. Run $ pip install -r requirements.txt
   3. Run $ python src/main.py
   4. Click the Google account you added as a tester previously
   5. Click Continue
   6. Tick both boxes that appear
   7. Click Continue
9. A token.json file should be created and your assignments will start to slowly list
10. Watch in glory as you see the hundreds of missing assignments you have appear in one terminal window

Issues:

• Assignments list slowly
• Shoddy code
• Archived classes show up in the list (this is a limitation of the API)

My response: I am a rust developer and made this in a very short period of time. Commits are welcome if you want to add new features/clean up my code!
