Automatically check application status for Canadian study permit.
Frustration, that's why.
-
Python 2
-
virtualenv (
sudo pip install virtualenv) -
wget
-
firefox (if you are a sadist and want to watch these screens slowly automatically get clicked by a robot) (or if you want to actually look at the website after the script is done)
(Tested on Ubuntu. 16.04. Hit me up if you have a sort of a similar system and have problems. Otherwise, you're on your own)
Update the data = { } dictionary in status.py with your credentials.
Apologies for not maintaining config separately. Too sleepy.
./checkstatus.sh
(or for firefox):
./checkstatus.sh geckodriver
... gibberish ...
