https://www.recreation.gov/ Updated site script needs to be updated

[000011111111]

Greetings Webrender,

The rec.gov site was just updated. As is such the script is no longer working.

Perhaps a python expert could update the script to work on the new site.

Thanks for your consideration.

I am willing to help with this with some guidance

I'll third or fourth this request...

It think with the addition of ReCAPTCHA to the Recreation.gov site, it will be more difficult to implement this in the future.

Well web scraping may be the best option then.

Miles Watkink's has some solid code for this.

Nonetheless, web automation is the only tool I know of that will work for securing high demand sites. Not all reservation pages have ReCAPCHA though. Maybe focusing on those first would be a good start. ᐧ

They are not actually using ReCAPTCHA even though they state that they are. It might be implemented later but I was able to successfully access their API with our problems

[DesertRatExpeditions]

I got a ReCAPTCHA on three windows on the 15th. It doesn't actually book the site until you solve it, so by the time you do, it's too late. It doesn't pop up most of the time though. Also, there isn't a way to book through the the API is there? I think the only way to book is through the web interface?

I created a bot in November last year that was able to add the spots to the cart directly through the api without needing to solve recaptcha but it might have been turned on since then?

Kaden,

Can you post the code for your bot on GitHub? ᐧ

I'm curious if your bot will spark the reCAPTCHA. Can you try it? I'll second Buck's request for the code, but completely understand if you want to hold it close to your vest.

[DesertRatExpeditions]

Kaden, were you using a post to add the site to your cart?

Hi everyone, does anyone have this working?
