bitshiftr opened this issue · comments

Looks like they have changed something again. Here is the error I am getting:

Unable to Create OTP

<title>403 Forbidden</title>

403 Forbidden

oh man!

yes, its changing , #80 (comment)

Cowin site itself seems to be non functional

this time, its with the first step of sending the OTP .
Cowin seems to still work.

and we are back again!

Is it working for you guys ?

yea its working but its spotty. not a good sign.

I could use it tomorrow but today I am not able to book

if they add a captcha, that will be game over

its up again but it keeps getting tapped out once in a while.
While i dont think the script has an issue but the destination is changing sthg in between.

Yup working fine for now but need to get to the bottom of this

I will keep this open. Otherwise people will keep creating issues.

Thanks brother for your efforts

If this script was useful, please feel free to spread the word a bit - if you don't mind. Link: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6794138228464193536/

BITSians ftw!

Hahaha.. I did their online course - not a "pure bred" BITSian I guess

Still, lovely job with this one, appreciate it!

the rate limit for the api is 100 calls every 5 minutes from an IP , so when you schedule the scan for slots it would be better if you can increase the time between each scans, since the script takes values in seconds and the minimum being 5 seconds , it would be good that you increase the value to 120 seconds or in multiples of 60 . This would prevent the server from red flagging the IP (also prevent abuse) .

The issue is if you have a CGNAT IP - many users on your network have the same IP. The rate limiting calculations will have to accommodate that, as more and more people start using scripts.

@tanmecolor Is there any official ratelimits page?

@pallupz I know this could be a silly question, but how did you generate the secret key hardcoded in generate_token_OTP function? is there a undocumented route to BearerAuth or ApiKey?

no, I just used developer mode on browser to get it.. fortunately it works in most cases

until they stop it, that is
