This project is a modified version of us-visa-appointment-notifier. Credits to the original author. Compared to the original project, this one uses Sendgrid (free 100 emails/day) instead of MailGun (30 day free trial) and it allows to simultaneosly monitor mutliple location schedules. This is just a script I put together to check and notify me via email (SendGrid) when there's an earlier date before my initial appointment date. It doesn't handle rescheduling.
- Logs you into the portal
- checks for schedules by day
- If there's a date before your initial appointment, it notifies you via email
- If no dates found, the process waits for set amount of seconds to cool down before restarting and will stop when it reaches the set max retries.
