This Script can schedule appointments even after the captcha security can into force. Kindly change the captcha to something more difficult like - 1)Selecting Tiles with Buses 2)Change with basic Maths problem ( 5 + 2 = ?)

This CANNOT book slots automatically. It doesn't skip any of the steps that a normal user would have to take on the official portal. You will still have to enter the OTP and Captcha.

ReCaptcha will make it difficult to book for people in rural areas where 100s of people book in one computer. Math problems won't matter as the script by pallupzrequires the user to fill the captcha.

And the script is not much different from the one's which Notify you as soon as a slot opens up. Even PayTM implemented it.

The time taken to book slots after notification and using the script will give you at most 10-20 seconds difference
