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_

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)

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

This program is licensed under GLWTPL, so don't point the finger at me if you get sued.
