Accessing more information about skyward-rest

See scrapeGradebook! Also, I haven't touched this code in years because I no longer have access to Skyward. Use at your own risk.

I have looked at the code for a very long time, but I can't seem to be able to read the code. I believe that the program is able to access the dialog box because of the url in the parse.js file in the gradebook folder being ../httploader.p?file=sfgradebook001.w, while the other urls in the other parse.js files in other folders were sfgradebook001.w. However, I don't know how this relates to opening up the grade rather than the class dialog box. I also see that in the parse.js file in the gradebook folder, there is a line in the body function that says return 'action=viewGradeInfoDialog&fromHttp=yes&ishttp=true'. I believe that the action=viewGradeInfoDialog is important, but I don't know how you got the viewGradeInfoDialog value either.
Could you provide some insight on how this works, if you remember what you did? Is there something I can read that will help me be able to read this code and understand why this works?
