IYKYK. 😄
Working on Ubuntu 20.04 hosted by DigitalOcean. YMMV.
It appears the latest versions of Chrome (110) and undetected-chromedriver (3.4.6) produce invalid header files. Read this thread for a workaround.
- python3
- pip3
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
Note: Tested and working with v108. v96 doesn't work, so please update Chrome if using a version older than v108.
git clone https://github.com/byalextran/southwest-headers
cd southwest-headers
pip3 install virtualenv
virtualenv env
env/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
cd southwest-headers
git pull
rm -rf env
virtualenv env
env/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
No arguments saves the headers to southwest_headers.json in the current directory.
env/bin/python southwest-headers.py
Include an argument if you want to specify where the headers are saved to.
env/bin/python southwest-headers.py /PATH/TO/FILENAME.json
The JSON file can then be used in whatever app to auto check-in (assuming the script adds support for reading this file).
I've added support in my script here:
https://github.com/byalextran/southwest-checkin
For now, I'd recommend running this script as a daily cronjob to ensure headers are refreshed regularly. They change periodically, so if this isn't done there's a chance you'll have expired headers when you try to check in.
crontab -e
And then copy/paste the following at the end of the file (making sure to update it with the absolute path):
0 2 * * * cd /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/southwest-headers/ && env/bin/python southwest-headers.py
That would run at 2:00am every day with the file southwest_headers.json (the default filename) saved in the southwest-headers folder.
