Fetch of subjects for Kuliyyah of Economics for semester 1, 2021/2022 session:
// Create albiruni instance
Albiruni albiruni = Albiruni(semester: 1, session: "2021/2022");
// Use methods available in the classes
var (subjects, totalPage) = await albiruni.fetch("ECONS");

Supports both Undergraduate and Postgraduate studies. Pass the StudyGrade.ug (default) or StudyGrade.pg.
Albiruni(semester: 1, session: "2022/2023", studyGrade: StudyGrad.pg);

Search for specific subjects in a kulliyyah #
Put the subject course code in the course parameter. The subject must be Albiruni-formatted, e.g. ABDC 1234 (see albiruni-formatted).
fetch("ECONS", course: "ECON 1140");
copied to clipboard
Here's some trick. Let's say you want to filter the courses for third-year subjects only, just provide the first digit and ignore the rest.
fetch("CCAC", course: "CCUB 3");
copied to clipboard
Albiruni-formatted #
The course code must be in the following format: ABCD 1234. The first four characters are the subject code, and the last four characters are the subject number. The space is required. In some cases, the course code format might be different but generally, it will look like this.
Lucky for you, .toAlbiruniFormat() extension method will properly format the string for you. Useful when you're receiving input from the users etc.
var userInput = "ccub2621";
fetch("CCAC", course: userInput.toAlbiruniFormat()); // formatted: CCUB 2621

JSON #
Parse subject data from JSON to Dart object, use fromJson() constructor.
Example JSON:
{
"code": "CHEN 1212",
"sect": 1,
"title": "THERMODYNAMICS",
"chr": 2.0,
"venue": null,
"lect": [
"DR. MOHD. FIRDAUS BIN ABD. WAHAB",
"ASSOC. PROF. DR. NOR FADHILLAH BT. MOHAMED AZMIN"
],
"dayTime": [
{ "day": 1, "startTime": "11:30", "endTime": "12:50" },
{ "day": 3, "startTime": "11:30", "endTime": "12:50" }
]
}
copied to clipboard
Parse it like following:
var data = <yourjsonstring>
var subjects = Subject.fromJson(jsonDecode(data));
copied to clipboard
Similarly, you can convert Dart object to JSON using toJson() method.
I think that's it for the basic usage of this library, of course, you can always discover more. You can drop your inquiries in issues if you have any. More examples can be found in the /example folder.
Common issues #


XMLHttpRequest error or CORS error
Usually occurs if you're developing for the web. Set useProxy flag to true. This will add a proxy layer between the client and the albiruni server.
fetch("ENGIN", course: "MCTE 3271", useProxy: true);
copied to clipboard


HandshakeException: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED error.
This happens when the albiruni server has some certificate issues. Some clients might reject the requests. If you're in development, try this answer from SO.
