permanent_residence_appointment_finder
This repo contains a Selenium script that automatically checks for Consultation appointments on the Volkshochschule Berlin Mitte Website (https://vhsmitte.flexappoint.de/#/). This website is used to book appointments for the "Leben in Deutschland" test, which is a prerequisite for obtaining the permanent residence or citizenship in Germany
How it works?
The script runs every 15 minutes on VM hosted on Google Cloud. It checks for appointments in the current month and six months in the future. If it finds an appointment as shown in the screenshot below, it sends an E-mail notification. I created this script because I was fed up with checking the website every day to get an appointment and wanted to automate this process.
This is how the E-mail notification looks like...
... and this is a video showing how the code runs
