Fork of @danielnorberg's script to scrape the CVS web site for Covid-19 vaccine appointments.

1. Book an appointment on cvs.com as usual.
2. Receive the confirmation e-mail, it will contain a link for changing the appointment. Open this link in your browser (the same that you used to make the appointment).
3. Save the values of the cookies starting with DG_. You can copy them using the Chrome developer tools for example.
4. Get a https://www.twilio.com/ trial account, get a twilio phone number & verify the phone number you want to send sms to
5. brew install maven (if you don’t have maven + java)
6. git clone [email protected]:marcusb/cvs-vax-finder.git
7. cd cvs-vax-finder
8. Edit AppointmentChecker.java:
   • Set the URL to the rescheduling link from the confirmation e-mail.
   • Set your location and desired last date of interest.
   • Insert the cookie values you saved earlier.
9. TWILIO_SID=badf00d TWILIO_TOKEN=badf00d NOTIFICATION_NUMBERS=+12222222222,+13333333333 TWILIO_NUMBER=+14444444444 ./run.sh
10. Verify that you get the hello world SMS on startup, otherwise something is wrong and you might not get any notifications for appointments.

• The TWILIO_SID, TWILIO_TOKEN env vars should be set to your twilio SID and auth token.
• TWILIO_NUMBER should be your assigned Twilio phone number.
• NOTIFICATION_NUMBERS Can be one or more comma separated numbers to send SMS to. Note that the numbers must be verified in your Twilio account.

• The run.sh script tries to run the application forever and restart it on crash.
• An SMS is sent if the application crashes so you can debug and get it up and running again.
• SMS are throttled to not notify more than once an hour for the same office. To clear the throttle: rm -rf sms-sent.
• Headless Firefox is used via selenium. You need to have Firefox installed.
