Script not able to pick the available slots - NO BOOKING ATTEMPT

[siddharthgoyal90]

@bombardier-gif The latest code main branch is not attempting booking even when slots are open. It just continues to say no options viable…. This is something I am getting from last 2 days now. Any thoughts please? Quite urgent.

[apoorvakasbekar]

@siddharthgoyal90 I am facing the exact same issue.

[Nakul93]

Are you guys able to see the available centres?

[siddharthgoyal90]

Yes @Nakul93 It opened once again 30 minutes back. But no luck with the script. Running in same state saying No Viable Options.

[Nakul93]

Make sure you have selected the right options and confirm that the same is available on cowin portal

[siddharthgoyal90]

@Nakul93 Cross verified multiple times by selecting right options on script inputs with the corresponding same ones on CoWIN. I was able to book multiple times before 2 days, but since last 2 days (i.e., post using the latest code on main branch) - the booking attempt is not coming through.

See the below screenshot for reference - this is non-stop continuing with the same inspite of the fact that slots were available/ open on CoWIN. Any thoughts?

[Nakul93]

Could you try using pincode instead of district

[siddharthgoyal90]

@Nakul93 I have chose Option 3 - state with pincodes from optimization standpoint only. Is there any other way of using pincodes you are proposing/ recommending?

[Nakul93]

Choose option 1, which is only for pincode and check if that works.

Last night at 9.30 i have booked slots with option 1.

[siddharthgoyal90]

@ernitish @Nakul93 Are we saying that the latest main branch works with Option 1 as of now? I’ve initiated the script with Option 1 - let’s see if it works.

[siddharthgoyal90]

@Nakul93 Following are the observations:

• I was able to book the appointment with Option #1 finally.
• It seems Option #2 and Option #3 doesn't work for any inputs.
• Option #1 work only when there are sudden 1-2 slots available BUT not when slots are scheduled to open for any center at a particular time of the day.

Thoughts?

[Nakul93]

Ok not sure if the bug mentioned in #314 was completely fixed. As for booking the slots which are scheduled to open at a particular time, the centres show after some delay (for me it was 15-30secs). Maybe this due to caching as mentioned in the api documentation A trick that might work is to wait for the exact time or wait for the telegram notification before you start searching centres. Also make sure that you haven't logged into the portal via app/web

here the problem is this if we select option 3 , I my case i selected 33 then 3 and then 500004,500033,500034,500038 It does not showing any centers available. I tried for 45+. It doesn't show any centers available . Now i am moving back to option 1 with 4 pincodes . it is running good let it see if it books .

Now with option 1 this issue.

[ghost]

Option 3 with 4 pin codes not showing any centers very difficult to book .

[ghost]

Option 3 working perfectly. i selected 5 centers .Booking confirmed.

Nothing works tried option 2 - slots open, doesn't work then option 3 with 5 pincodes, again no then option 1 with 5 pincodes, again no

[Nakul93]

Try with 3 pincodes or less

[pics12456]

Acha will start with it now

[ghost]

I Have booked with option 3 and 4 picodes frequency 7 at 18:00 hrs. @pics12456 plz attach some screenshots.

[pics12456]

@nolimits0007

I had not taken the screenshot then

[pics12456]

At the moment I have changed it to option 1

[rodeoz]

Was able to book successfully yesterday. Used Option 1 (for pin code only) and chose 2 pin codes with a refresh frequency of 10 seconds.

It missed the slot when I chose Option 3 (district and then sort by pin code). Though to be fair only 7 slots were opened then as opposed to 30 when it picked up.

[ghost]

@nolimits0007

I had not taken the screenshot then But I can explain the scenario

3 - Hyderabad Pin codes: 500003,500004,500082,500004,500033 Frequency :7 I also tried with 10 frequency earlier in the afternoon

The slot AIMSR (Pin:500033) opened at 6:03PM But the script was showing no viable options and continued as normal

I am also entering manual otp so constantly sitting near the system

Please help

@pics12456 Try this Trick. Use option 3. Type 33 then 3 when it comes to pincode use them in ascending order as mentioned below use frequency 7 it will pick slot definitely and something goes wrong take screenshot. Also see if ur going for AIMSR they are only giving COVAXINE & its paid. 500003,500004,500004,500033,500082

My observation is there is always some delay between the slots actually opening up and the script showing those slots. I’ve tried with 1 pincode and still the slots started showing up for me after roughly 30secs after the actual time. Even the telegram bot alerted at the exact time, but the script has some delay. Not sure if has to do with the caching of data as mentioned in the API documentation

[pics12456]

So is their way out?

In this case i think again download complete from the main code remove the use folder and use new one. Because in Hyderabad i have done booking 2 times today .

what i replied u can do that way.

[pics12456]

Yeah. I have set it up with that manner -option 3 pincodes in ascending order

Hope I get the slot

I have had the updated code. I think what you are suggesting is to delete the pycache folder, it won’t really help. The reason you were probably able to book was maybe due to less traffic. There are always a lot of traffic (especially in major cities)when centers have specific slot opening times.

It tried booking And i saw this error

Earlier u were not getting slots at least u r getting slots now.

what my opinion is that u download main code from site extract it on desktop.

the folder extracted . go to tests folder extract windows exe and the go to windows exe folder.

There run captcha_tests.exe file if u see something like this.

After pressing quit u should see something like this then it will work.

plz do this u will get slot. Happy Vaccination !!!
