Context: Co-Win is an application developed by the Government of India with the collaboration of UNDP. The site is a one-way portal for users to get vaccinated, and register themselves, and book appointments. As the second phase of vaccination for the younger part of the population has begun, the site is intensely used. The site has a major flaw of not providing notifications for upcoming slots, which is unfair. Life is not first-come-first-serve. The bot is used to check for vaccination slots on the site. Previous editions used the public API as in API Setu. But public API-s such as API Setu are not protected and are cached every 30 mins. This is neither told by the govt nor mentioned thus checking for slots from home page is useless. Our bot logs in the user registered to the portal via OTP from mobile with the help of Google Messages and checks for slots every 20 seconds on the logged-in dashboard where they use their "protected API" to fetch the slots and thus are real-time. Once the bot finds a slot, it will notify the user to book the slot immediately.

Who can use this Bot?

Users who only have 1 member registered on the site and do not have an appointment scheduled can use this application.
