The success check in the script doesn't seem to be a valid check to see if slots are open

This particular line in the code doesn't seem to be a good check to see if slots are available https://github.com/LeninGangwal/Big-Basket-Delivery-Slots/blob/0e2a5c3420f64c315d74c2133dd04aeddbf56bf0/BB_slot.py#L25

I've been running this script for a while, and finally the page redirected to https://www.bigbasket.com/co/checkout/?x=0&spni=21&addr=someid which according to the code indicates that slots are open, but the page instead showed this error:

So this if condition doesn't seem to work. Is there a better check that can be done? I haven't had a successful order on Big basket so I don't what a good check would be.

You are right! I added the fix for that. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi again @LeninGangwal,

I pulled the latest changes, and this particular line doesn't seem todo the trick.

https://github.com/LeninGangwal/Big-Basket-Delivery-Slots/blob/c369655caff86a05b659e113541efae7f05b9cdd/BB_slot.py#L27

Here's a screenshot from my system showing the Bigbasket website and script output side-by-side

I'm going to dig around and try to find a fix, but Python isn't my cup of tea, so any help would be appreciated.

Hmm got it. This should not happen ideally unless your internet is quite slow and the popup loads up after the 5 sec sleep time. I 'll try to update the script, but for now, you can try increasing the sleep time to say 15 seconds maybe. time.sleep(5) #driver take a few secs to update the new URL

Ok I've bumped that to 45 seconds to give it plenty of time. I'll keep the script running and get back to you

After some trial and error a sleep of 20 seconds did the trick. No failures so far, and I finally got a slot 🎉

Greaat 👍
