You can visit the site https://jpsays.com/vaccine

  1. SET MULTIPLE ALERT CRITERIA You just need to select your criteria for alerts like district, type of vaccine/dose/date and Set Reminder.

You can set multiple criteria from different districts too.

On 1 click all your searches will be done.

Next time you open the site in same browser, your search criteria will be there already. Just click Check Availability button, all information will be available.

  1. ENABLE NOTIFICATION ( IF SUPPORTED BY DEVICE ) If your device supports notification like Windows 10 desktop/laptop, then after setting alert criteria, click on Enable Notification button. Allow it.

Minimize the browser or continue with your other work, keep the site open. As and when the slots are available, it will notify in you.

  1. DOWNLOAD CERTIFICATE Authenticate your mobile using OTP and download vaccination certificate for unique reference ID provided at the time of booking a slot.

Please visit and give your valuable feedback

For better experience, API for beneficiaries linked to mobile number is required. Some users have taken both doses under two different beneficiary IDs. Cowin app should provide some way of merging them into one.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. No, I didn’t try for private APIs. All the best !!

@sumati927 great job. Just one question are the alerts real time or would there be a delay?

Public APIs are giving real time data, so why do we require to talk to private APIs

Not really check the API doc page it says Public APIs data maybe upto 5mins old

rahulshinde11 commented 3 years ago

Yes, public API is not the latest. I have verified.

Try findByDistrict...It is real time...CalendarByDistrict has 5 mins cache...Even that can be bypassed

Nakul93 commented 3 years ago

Not really I’ve tried findby public APIs when slot opens up, but there was a delay of 2-3mins. Same with private gave me instant response. Anyhow the policies for usage of these APIs have been updated not sure how long we will be able to use this

I run findBy API 24 by 7 and always get fresh data. CalendarBy can also give by tweaking the date being passed

Nakul93 commented 3 years ago

And do you use public APIs?

udayogra commented 3 years ago

And do you use public APIs?

Yes. Even telegram updater channels are using public APIs only

udayogra commented 3 years ago

You can always check response headers to check how much your data is cached/old. DATE and remapped-date needs to be equal for latest data image

Nakul93 commented 3 years ago

But it does have a limit of 100 searches per IP for 5mins.

udayogra commented 3 years ago

Yes it is. I run one request every 3.5 seconds per user. And each user acts as a new public IP for me. So literally I get latest data every second

Nakul93 commented 3 years ago

When you say per user are you actually logging in and searching for slots or without it?

udayogra commented 3 years ago

Not logged in. I run API calls on browser. So if X number of users are using my app, each of them(actually 10%) will be making calls from different IP addresses to COWIN APIs after every 3.5 seconds. Whosoever finds slot first will communicate to others via backend

rahulshinde11 commented 3 years ago

How can you bypass CORS and make a request to another domain?

rahulshinde11 commented 3 years ago

It's this one. https://vaccineslot.in/ I see lot of script errors image

udayogra commented 3 years ago

All harmless errors

udayogra commented 3 years ago

Even you can do that. They allow cross domain calls

@sumati927 great job. Just one question are the alerts real time or would there be a delay?

Thank you for supporting. There is 5 mins delay in public API, as given in description. But practically I have seen delay of 2-3 mins only.

And our page refreshes after every 60 seconds for all the set alerts.
