Quick Start
Get yourself a sessionToken
first by sending a POST
request to
localhost:5000/auth/login
with the parameters
username: YOURUNI password: YOURPASSWORD
It should return something like this
"sessionToken":"rAnDoMtOkEn"
Then use the one of the method we have so far
localhost:5000academic/schedule?sessionToken=rAnDoMtOkEn
which should return you a list of courses you're currently taking for the term
