Curtin Courses Index
Info
This application crawls data from the
Curtin Course Handbook.
Since Curtin doesn't provide an API, we parse the HTML webpages, which are occassionally malformed.
All information provided by this application is publically available in the Curtin Handbook, just put into a more digestible format.
API
The Curtin Courses Index provides an API that you can use to get information about all of Curtin's units and courses.
As always, this application is provided in good faith. Information in the handbook doesn't change very often, so please cache
your queries where possible to make this application faster for everyone, especially in the large dataset endpoints.
