UIUC Open Data API

Unofficial Open Data API for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I'm building this out of frustration of not having a centralized data source for UIUC information. The idea was fleshed out here. This is still very much a WIP, so please feel free to submit an issue or contribute! The API is built with Python, Flask + Flask RESTful, and Redis.

Note: This is an unofficial API and is not supported or controlled by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign itself. Any questions, comments, feedback or feature requests should be directed to xasos or via an issue in this repo.
