gaokao-cli

Query Chinese college entrance exam (高考) data from the command line. Data source: 掌上高考 (gaokao.cn), operated by China Education Online (中国教育在线), under the Ministry of Education.

Prerequisites

gaokao-cli must be installed at ~/.local/bin/gaokao-cli. No WebBridge or browser required — all data comes from public CDN JSON APIs.
