Import Schoology Assignments to Todoist

Note: Since I've graduated high school and therefore don't use Schoology anymore (nor Todoist, for that matter), I no longer have any use for Todology. I've left it here in the hope that it may be useful (or, at least, interesting) to someone, but it may very well be broken, and I won't be investing any time into fixing or maintaing it in the future. If you'd like to take up the mantle and run with it, feel free to do so--let me know and I'll add a link to your fork here.

Import Schoology Assignments to Todoist

I was sick of manually copying my assignments from Schoology to Todoist. So I made a script to do it for me.

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible if this script causes something bad for you. If your school IT person has something against scripts and gets you expelled for using this one, I am not responsible. If for some reason it drops an assignment and you turn it in late, I am not responsible. (Although it shouldn't do that, and I do use it myself.) You should still double-check schoology.

Usage

First, clone this repo:

$ git clone [e-mail]:ariporad/todology
$ cd todology

Then, install the dependencies. (You'll need Python 3 for this. You should probably use virtualenv too.):

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Next, copy the config.sample.yml to config.yml, and edit it. (There are helpful comments to guide you through the process.):

$ cat config.sample.yml > config.yml
$ vim config.yml

Finally, run it:

python3 index.py

You should run it whenever you want to import events to Todoist. It will automagically not import the same event multiple times. (NOTE: It stores the information about already-imported events on your computer. If you run it on different computers, it will probably do something bad.)

How it Works (Nerdy Details)

This script works by downloading the Schoology calendar feed, and parsing it. It then converts calendar events into a list of assignments that need to be imported. It imports any event which matches the following criteria:

1. The start date is before the 1st of the previous month.

• For example, if today is the Jan 31 2016, then it will import anything that starts on or after Dec 1 2015.

2. And has not been imported before. (By default, it keeps track of this in ~/.todology)

Then, it takes the list of assignments and imports them all in to Todoist using their fantastic API.
