Introduction

The ClassCharts API is a typescript wrapper around the ClassCharts API. It allows you to easily make requests to the ClassCharts API without having to worry about the underlying implementation of making requests.

Help

For any help with the library, please join the discord where you can ask questions and get help from the community.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! There are lots of API endpoints which we simply do not have access to to implement, so if you have access to them, please consider contributing! If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the discord.

Installation

Requirements

• Node.js 20 or newer
  OR
• Deno

NPM

npm install classcharts-api

Deno

The imports in the examples are for Node.js, but can easily be substituted for Deno.

import {
  ParentClient,
  StudentClient,
} from "https://deno.land/x/classcharts_api/mod.ts";

Logging In

Before making any requests, you must login to the client. This will get you a session ID which will be used for all requests.

Student Client

import { StudentClient } from "classcharts-api";

// Date of birth MUST in the format DD/MM/YYYY
const client = new StudentClient("classchartsCode", "01/01/2000");
await client.login();

Parent Client

?> The parent client is not tested, as I do not have access to a parent account. If you experience any issues, please open an issue or PR.

import { ParentClient } from "classcharts-api";

const client = new ParentClient("username", "password");
await client.login();
