The API and API Setu website show available slots. However, cannot book them from API Setu website. #247

The API and API Setu website show available slots. On the API Setu website, when I click on the slot, the booking does not go through. Please see the screenshot of the website I took just now. This is not a one-time issue either, check this local news item reporting a similar issue. Are these slots locked hence cannot be booked, if so they shouldn't show up as available. Screenshot

On May 6-7, due to heavy traffic on the site, Govt said that the data will not be real time, but coached, and can be upto 30 min old. But when you try getting a slot, it checks with real time data and fails.

But the issue was observed after logging in the API Setu website also. The website should show real-time slots.

There should be a clear difference between Availability stock for Dose 1 and Dose 2. In the API response there are 3 fields : 1 for Available slots, second for available dose 1 and third for dose 2. Front end is showing just based on first field. This is one of the reason that people are getting confused

And on front end it is just showing available capacity as 39. So a person who is going to book for the first dose1, it won't allow.

@Dev00355 did you check for other locations too? earlier, available capacity was not aligning with dose 1 and dose 2 count

@Dev00355 point makes sense and looking at similar issues that seems to be the case. Another example of shitty solutions forced down the public's throats by the technocratic administration.

And with all of this, they are allowing only 100 hits per 5 min. Only if the data was accurate
