A GUI tool that automatically scrapes and archives weekly newsletters from the Manbang School parent portal, saving them as PDFs, images, HTML, and plain text — organized by semester and week.

Automated Scraping — Uses Selenium WebDriver to automatically crawl the weekly newsletter pages PDF Export — Converts scraped newsletters and images into PDF files Image Export — Saves image files separately HTML Export — Saves raw HTML just in case Text Export — Saves plain text just in case Auto Folder Organization — Files are automatically sorted by semester and week into the weekly_notices folder

Go to the latest release page and download the following files into the same folder:

gui_app.exe chromedriver.exe — must match your installed Chrome version (download here). The bundled one should work in most cases.

Double-click gui_app.exe to launch.

Install Python 3.8+ Install dependencies:

bash pip install -r requirements.txt If requirements.txt is missing, install manually: bash pip install selenium fpdf requests

Place chromedriver.exe (matching your Chrome version) in the project root folder. Run the app:

bash python gui_app.py

Log in:

Manually log in to the Manbang School parent portal. Once logged in and the newsletter page loads, the GUI status will change to "Logged In".

Start archiving:

In the Chrome window, select the year and semester you want to archive. Click the "Start" button in the GUI. The app will automatically scrape all weekly newsletters for the selected semester and save them to the weekly_notices folder. Progress is shown in the status bar.

Stop archiving — Click the "Stop" button at any time to pause scraping. Open saved folder — Click "Open Saved Folder" to open the weekly_notices directory directly.

The chromedriver.exe version must match your installed Chrome browser version. If you've updated Chrome, download a matching chromedriver.exe from the ChromeDriver download page. Make sure gui_app.exe and chromedriver.exe are in the same folder.

If the Manbang School parent portal updates its HTML structure, the scraper may break. In that case, the source code (script.py) will need to be updated manually.
