Day 32 - Python Script to track Available COVID-19 Vaccine Slots for 18+ in India
Booking a COVID-19 vaccination slot reminds me of good old days of booking a TATKAL ticket in Indian train. If you are lucky and very fast with Keyboard then we would be able to book the train ticket under TATKAL quota. Otherwise Surprise !!!
Same rule applies here too but we don't have idea about the next available slot timings for vaccination.
When is the next slot going to open ? Still it's a suspense for us. By the time we come to know that there are few slots available, CoWIN portal (https://www.cowin.gov.in/home) shows that it's already booked.
I have observed that people are struggling to find an available slots in their locality. So I thought of writing a python script using public API to track the available COVID-19 vaccine slots in the entire city.
Task for interested folks who want to send an alert to a group/channel:
Please trigger an email or message on WhatsApp/Telegram group whenever you get any data in the output file - "18plus_vaccination_slot.csv" or data frame - "18plus_vaccination_slot"
Co-WIN Public APIs to find appointment availability and to download vaccination certificates. These APIs are available for use by all third party applications
