COMSATS Result Fetcher

At my university, we are anxiously waiting for the result of the final semester. But we dont know what the schedule for the result. We have to enter our roll number , password, enter some captcha (dont know whats the need of the captcha on a student portal) and then login into the system, navigates to some directories to see the result and mostly disappoint beecause result not announced yet.

So as a computer science student its my duty to solve that issue. Here I wrote a python script that will autmatically puts the login information , solve the captcha and then navigates to a result directory and checks whether result is announced or not in a fraction of a second.

Requirements

• python 3.x
• BeautifulSoup
• Request
• 2Captcha Account

Note: You can install above libs using pip

Login Screen

Here is the login screen looks like:

How it works

Go to the 2Captcha and create account.The 2Captcha is giving services which solves the captcha. And also it is not free but it is very very cheap. I am not going to write my own captcha solver because it takes time and it is just a pet project and it needs to be complete before the result came :) So create account on 2Captcha and from there you just need the API KEY

Now just open comsats.py script file and put the API key there

Now you have to add your roll number and password in the file.

Now add the last thing i.e the session for which you want to chck the result.

Now all set. All this is only 1 time setting. I wrote the whole thing is just few hours or in so hurry so It might be horrifying at first sight. May be If I found time I will add some other things in it and make it user friendly.

Now just run the file to check for the result and look what I got.

So now just run it when you want ot check for the result.

Future Development

• Make it more user friendly

• Convert into Android App

     OR
  

• Integret Twillio SMS API (So when result announced a message is delivered to your number. I am trying hard on this but actually Twillio api is expensive so cannot afford for now. And international message cost alot.)
