"You need to sign in or sign up before continuing" or "socket hang up"

[lucasvianav]

Whenever I try to run the bot I get either of the following errors. Is this expected or should it be able to login on the first few attempts?

Hi, Please can you help me to use the bot , I need an urgent us visa appointment and the first available one is on May 2024 :(

@lucasvianav, please notice that once in a while, you'll see You need to sign in or sign up before continuing. on your logs, but then the app will automatically sign in again and keep working.

The second problem may happen when you make too many requests in a short period, not only through the script but also in your web browser.

You're IP will get blocked for a few hours, and then the script will resume its work.

P.s.: I took the liberty to hide your schedule ID from the logs you posted.

What worked for me was setting up an AWS EC2 instance (you can run one for free for a few days) and leaving the script running so my browser wouldn't be blocked and the script wouldn't suddenly stop when my machine slept (I needed to get a fast visa). It takes a while to trust the script, but once you do, you'll forget about it and follow the email notifications.

hey! can't believe I doxed myself, thanks for the heads up.

I see, thought it wasn't working because I didn't get to see any other logs along it's execution, but makes sense that it'd take a while and my IP must've been blocked first.

I ended up getting a reschedule manually, but thanks anyway :)
