# BearlyPassing backend

_This small backend server acts as a translation layer between the frontend's REST API for fetching data, and PowerSchool's ancient SOAP API

Note: Some instances of PowerSchool no longer have a SOAP API, at this point it's a coin toss if your instance still supports it.

## Running_

```shell
python3 main.py
```
By default, it will listen for connections at `127.0.0.1:8080`. This can be changed by settings the `--address` and
`--port` arguments

This program supports sending CORS headers. Set the frontend-domain argument to the domain that you're hosting this
publicly on (read this whole section before deciding on hosting this)

```sh
python3 main.py --frontend-domain example.com
```

This backend should probably not be run in production, but if you do, for the love of all that is holy:

- Grep for todos in the code, there is some bounds checks we didn't add for simplicity
- Run this behind a reverse proxy
- Be extremely vigilant for unauthorised access
