Welcome to the SearchNEU documentation!

Overview

"SearchNEU", as a complete application, exists in two parts:

• Backend: The backend is our API server, which does all of the heavy lifting. This stores all of the course data - names, IDs, sections, descriptions, etc. It also handles notifications. The user can interact with this data using the frontend.
  • The backend is also used by other applications (like GraduateNU).
• Frontend: The frontend is what a user sees when they go to searchneu.com. It does not have any data on its own - whenever a user searches for a course, the frontend sends a request to the backend, which returns the data. The frontend handles display; the backend handles data processing.

This is the documentation for the backend.
