FAQ

How often is the data updated?

The scraper was recently improved in April 2025 and now data is updated much more frequently. Subjects should be updated once every 1-2 hours during peak registration times. Always create back up plans for classes and ensure the information is correct. Again, see Disclaimer.

Can you add this feature?

We're always open to new suggestions for the site, and we want to make it as useful as possible to students. Please email any suggestions, bugs, inconsistencies, errors, or inquiries to jaxon@fastclass.io and we will respond to every email.

How do you get the data?

FastClass webscrapes publicly available information, as this is legal and upheld by the U.S. Ninth Circuit of Appeals. Additionally, the data is run through proprietary algorithms on the backend to meaningfully alter it and provide a unique product that is differentiable from the data sources. Futhermore, we ensure that we adhere to "good bot" rules, and we never spam or overload their servers. In fact, FastClass's data scraping is purposefully throttled in order to respect these institutions. That being said, FastClass is not affiliated with these instutitutions in any way, shape, or form. If any institution requests that we stop our scrapers or remove their data from the site, we would be more than happy to explore alternative sources.
