This project provides an unofficial API for accessing the University of Alberta faculty, subject, course, and class schedules from its official course catalogue through web scraping. Originally built by @abenezerBelachew, this fork allows the scraper to function with the updated HTML layout of the course catalogue website, and significantly updates the project by upgrading dependencies to current versions, optimizing scraping with parallel threads, and replacing outdated data with a new, reformatted dataset.

• ✅ Updated all Python dependencies to latest secure/compatible versions.
• ⚡ Significantly improved scraping speed via multithreading (parallel requests).
• 🧹 Cleaned and reformatted data collection.
• 📦 Replaced outdated scraped data with newly refreshed data for faculties, subjects, and courses.
• 🛠 Fixed scraper to work with the current version of the University of ALberta course catalogue HTML layout.

• 20 Faculties
• 327 Subjects
• 10014 Courses
