How does this work?

This script opens a Chrome browser, waits for appointments to open up, and once available will select a random time slot and complete the entire booking process automatically.

Update (3/30/2021): This script is a lot less effective now that many of the vaccination sites have implemented captchas (while strangely, others have not like the J&J Javitz Center appointments). I've implemented some quick & hacky code in scenario #1 of the feature spec that will assist with page refreshes there.

Installation

1. Install a Ruby version manager such as rbenv or rvm (on Windows, check out https://rubyinstaller.org/)
2. Clone the repo
3. gem install bundler
4. bundle install

Running

1. There are a bunch of constants at the top of the file named book_vaccine.rb. Update those to reflect your own personal information.
2. rspec spec/features/book_vaccine.rb > booking.log
3. Wait forever because appointment slots never seem to open up anyway, unless you're in Potsdam, NY.

Here it is in action:
