Why is NYU API deprecated?

1. schedge

   1 1 56 6.1 Java

   API for NYU's course catalog

   

   There’s a big note (https://github.com/A1Liu/schedge) that states “NOTE: NYU has started deprecating the service that Schedge relies on. It's unlikely that this project will be able to continue.” Does anyone know why this is the case and if there are any alternatives?

3. Playwright

   2 550 95,591 9.9 TypeScript

   Playwright is a framework for Web Testing and Automation. It allows testing Chromium, Firefox and WebKit with a single API.

   

   Would it be possible to use a headless browser (e.g. Playwright) to programmatically navigate the official public course search website and scrape information with innerText, query selectors, and/or regex? Also, I really wish that you could still make information on previous semesters available through the endpoints as they are valuable to many students as well (e.g. to look at frequencies of classes being offered in the past).

4. NYUCourseTracker
