Hi, I made a program that checks my grades periodically and texts me when they change. I wanted to host it on this website, but the grades website (www.jupitergrades.com) isn't whitelisted. Is there any way to request for this site to go on the whitelist? I only ask because I see a lot of random websites on it.

Is there any way to request for a website to be whitelisted?
Hey there, can you share some of the code you use to pull your grades off the site?

It's a little convoluted, but the code that pulls the grade off the website is basically this:
import urllib.request
response = urllib.request.urlopen(jupiter)
html = response.read()
html=str(html)
Where jupiter is the link to my grades (on www.jupitergrades,com). Is this reasonable enough?
Normally we only whitelist websites with a published API, not just screen-scraping... This might be a bit of a grey area - I'll discuss it with my colleagues tomorrow...
Ok, thank you very much, let me know what you decide.
