So can you explain a bit more about on google meet , if possible ?

kartikey54 commented 3 years ago

Sorry, I'm not available right now for a google meet, we can do it sometime next week maybe I'll add a summary here so that everybody interested can check it:

The project works by polling the CoWin API (documentation: https://apisetu.gov.in/public/api/cowin)

An API is available in the aarogya setu system to check for the availability of the vaccine in a pin code for a specified date.

The script fires 10 API calls every minute (this is done through node-cron), for fetching the availability for the next 10 days. The result is then filtered to check for eligibility based on the age. If slots are available, the script sends an email to the specified email id through the nodeMailer module.
