DevGET

GETS submission data from Devpost Hackathons and generates CSVs for judging teams based on prize categories.

This is necessary because Devpost doesn't provide an API. We may have manually scraped the data to provide it for our judges in previous years....

Usage

Log in to Devpost, after installing the extension. Go to Account -> Manage Hackathons -> Submissions. Once you're on the submissions page, click the DevGET button. The results from the scraping should be in the console. (Soon to be downloadable and normalized in CSV files)
