Iserv

---

name: iserv description: HTTP client for IServ school platforms. Log in to an IServ instance (e.g. https://grabbe-dt.de) and fetch common student data like unread mail counts, calendar events, files/folders, tasks/exercises, announcements/news, and other IServ modules via HTTP endpoints. Includes best-effort file ops + exercise submission.

IServ (school platform)

This skill uses an HTTP client (no browser automation) to log in and call IServ endpoints.

Credentials / security

Do NOT hardcode credentials.

Provide credentials via environment variables.

Single profile:

ISERV_BASE_URL (e.g. https://grabbe-dt.de)

ISERV_USER

ISERV_PASS

Multiple profiles (parallel):

set ISERV_PROFILE= or pass --profile

provide ISERV__BASE_URL, ISERV__USER, ISERV__PASS

Commands

cd skills/iserv/scripts
unread inbox count
./iserv.py mail-unread
last 3 mails (IMAP)
./iserv.py mail-last --n 3
upcoming calendar events (JSON)
./iserv.py calendar-upcoming
list files (JSON)
./iserv.py files-list --path "/"        # root
./iserv.py files-list --path "/Files"   # typical user file area
search files/folders recursively by substring
./iserv.py files-search --query "bio" --start-dir "/Files" --max-depth 6
download a file (best-effort across IServ versions)
./iserv.py files-download --path "/Files/foo.pdf" --out-dir ./downloads
upload a file (prefers FS Dropzone-style chunked upload; falls back to legacy form upload)
./iserv.py files-upload --file ./foo.pdf --dest-dir "/Files"
optionally tune chunk size (bytes)
./iserv.py files-upload --file ./foo.pdf --dest-dir "/Files" --chunk-size 8388608
create folder (best-effort; depends on IServ version)
./iserv.py files-mkdir --path "/Dokumente/Neu"
rename/move (best-effort)
./iserv.py files-rename --src "/Dokumente/Alt.txt" --dest "/Dokumente/Neu.txt"
delete (best-effort; USE WITH CARE)
./iserv.py files-delete --path "/Dokumente/Neu.txt"
messenger: list chats / conversations
./iserv.py messenger-chats
messenger: fetch messages for a chat
./iserv.py messenger-messages --chat-id 
messenger: send message
./iserv.py messenger-send --chat-id  --text "Hello"
list exercises (best-effort HTML scrape)
./iserv.py exercise-list --limit 50
view one exercise + list attachments (optionally download them)
./iserv.py exercise-detail --id 123
./iserv.py exercise-detail --id 123 --download-dir ./downloads
attempt to submit an exercise file (best-effort; depends on IServ version)
./iserv.py exercise-submit --id 123 --file ./solution.pdf --comment "Abgabe"

Notes / next steps

Exercises: listing/details/submission are implemented via HTML scraping.

Submission is now form-driven (parses the actual

on the exercise page and posts multipart), which is more robust than guessing an internal upload API. If it still fails on a specific IServ instance, capture: - the HTML of the exercise detail page (after login) - response status + redirect URL

Files: list/download/upload + mkdir/rename/delete are implemented as best-effort across IServ versions.

Some instances expose slightly different endpoints; the client tries to discover Symfony FOS routes (when available) and falls back to common API paths.

Ideas to extend further:

richer exercise parsing (due dates, teacher, description)

announcements/news

messenger notifications (currently experimental)

robust file search, move/copy, and recursive folder download

Reference: IServ routes are discoverable via the bundled FOS routes JS (commonly /iserv/js/fos_js_routes.js; some instances also use /iserv/js/assets/fos_js_routes*.js).
