Myturn-bot
Bot for scraping various California vaccination sites for available COVID-19 appointments
Install
Requires node.js and npm. Also requires Chrome to be installed
npm install
Run vaccine appointment scraper bot
npm run bot
Outputs a custom report to ./tests_output
Note that this does NOT run in headless mode, since certain sites have some kind of bot detection that causes failures. If you want to experiment with headless, you can remove the comment on line 24 of nightwatch.conf.js
Customization
You can edit the variables at the top of ./scripts/myturn-bot.js to better match your region. By default it's set to San Francisco county. If using the HTML report, you'll want to change San Francisco-specific text in the template too: ./lib/themes/myturnbot/index.pug
