Co-WIN Public API's cached response #541

Open meetmakwana19 opened 3 years ago

meetmakwana19 commented 3 years ago

My python script runs for 24hours at an interval of 3 seconds due to 100 requests im 5minutes criteria. The fetched response I'm getting inside my DB is usually 3-5-10 minutes late than the response which telegram-vaccine-slots-notifier(Eg.: Healthify one) gets.

I am attaching images here which shows that on 19th September 2021, Healthiy telegram tracker notified the slot at 8:20am with Dose1:40, Dose2:40 whereas my database got the insertion of the response at 8:21am with Dose1:24, Dose2:21 Conclusion : I am getting cached response from server side side cachingI think.

I tried adding headers for no-caching in the python code but isn't working too. If anyone has any suggestions on how to avoid cached response from cowin public api then please help.

Yes, this is known issue and no one cares about fixing the same.

It would really be great if you know any of the solution. I use calendarbyDistrict api

You can use api endpoints of healthifyme unofficially like this, they have private access to Cowin data.

Can you please share the documentation of this Healthify's APIs as I couldn't find it. I want to know other endpoints like you had given example of dayWiseSlots. Your provided URL just returns a total present number of appointments on the CoWIN but I need exact data like CoWIN gives from their other endpoints like findbydistrict or calenderbydistrict.

as i said this is unofficial way so there is no documentation, Just go to https://apps.healthifyme.com/vaccinateme and use browser dev options to track different endpoints and its params and headers
