# AS OF 08/08/2016 IT ONLY WORKS ON *NODE.JS*, TO MAKE IT WORK ON THE CLIENT SIDE YOU WILL NEED TO BYPASS CORS USING A PROXY SERVER

# rmp-api
A RateMyProfessor scraper that pretends to be the RMP API.

Try out the live demo [here](http://rmp-api-server.herokuapp.com/demo/index.html).
Sample use [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3PWyVudeXo) here.

##In a nutshell

Get all the information you need with one line of code (and a callback...)

```javascript
var cb = function (prof) { /* .. do stuff with professor data .. */ };

rmp.get("FirstName LastName", cb);
```

that's it.

You can also make instances that only search within the domain of specific universities.

Let's make one for **University of Massachippissippi**

```javascript
var massachippissippi = rmp("University of Massachippissippi");
```
we can then use it as we would with ```rmp```
```javascript
massachippissippi.get("Negan Edwarrds", cb);
```

##Installation

```
$ npm install rmp-api --save

  console.log("Name: " + professor.fname + " " + professor.lname);
  console.log("University: "+ professor.university);
  console.log("Quality: " + professor.quality);
  console.log("Easiness: " + professor.easiness);
  console.log("Helpfulness: " + professor.help);
  console.log("Average Grade: " + professor.grade);
  console.log("Chili: " + professor.chili);
  console.log("URL: " + professor.url);

### API

Creating instances

**rmp(university)**
```javascript
var pennState = rmp("Pennsylvania State University");

// Only search for Penn State professors
pennState.get("Naseem Ibrahim", callback);
```

**Instance chaining**

```javascript
var uc = rmp("University of California");
var ucLA = uc("Los Angeles");
// Los Angeles campus
// then ucLA.get(...);
```
or
```javascript
var ucLA = rmp("University of California")("Los Angeles");
// then ucLa.get(...);
```

Requesting professor

**.get(fullName, callback)**
```javascript
rmp.get("Paul Lynch", callback);
```
or
```javascript
var someUniv = rmp("Some University");

someUniv.get("First Last", callback);
```

**.get(options, callback)**
```javascript
rmp.get({ university: "Pennsylvania State University", campus: "Erie", name: "Douglas Dexter"}, callback);
```
or
```javascript
var someUniv = rmp("Some University");

someUniv.get({ campus: "Some Campus", name: "First Last"}, callback);
```
