hackCovid2.0 I feel super happy to announce that my project,Cowin-Notifier , has been selected to win the Seventh Prize.

About

Cowin-Notifer is a simple telegram bot that automatically sends notification regarding the availability of vaccine in your district. This is also a real time tracker of vaccine , you can check availability of vaccine using command /vaxinfo . You can host this bot in on your device.

Note

On 6th May 2021, CoWin API added caching and rate limits. The public API data would be cached upto 30 minutes, so the alerts wouldn't be so instant in busy areas, which reduced this bot's functionality to being a nice UI for public CoWin site in Telegram.
