This is a fork over the neat covid-vaccine-booking. Thanks for creating a playground for me to build on 🤘 It allows rescheduling for both dose 1 and 2 withing the script but Only 1 beneficiary at a time

./covid-vaccine-slot-booking.py [--mobile <mobile_no>] [--token <token>] [--kvdb-bucket <kvdb_bucket_key] [--config <path_to_config] [--no-tty]
This very basic CLI based script can be used to automate covid vaccination slot booking on Co-WIN Platform.
Note: All parameters are optional.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
--mobile | Registered mobile on CoWIN |
--token | Token of the user |
--kvdb-bucket | kvdb.io bucket key |
--config | Path to store the configuration file |
--no-tty | Do not ask any terminal inputs. Proceed with smart choices |
Environment Variable | Description |
---|---|
BEEP | Setting no skips beeps |
KVDB_BUCKET | kvdb.io bucket key |
- If you face any issues please refer to the troubleshooting section at the end of this doc
- If you are still facing errors and want to run this script on windows using exe, please see the section below How to run on windows
- Instructions for iOS have also been added. See the Setup Guide for iOS for details. Please note that its not possible to automate the OTP auto read on iOS completely, however its possible to make it a 1 tap process, which is far better than seeing and entering the OTP manually.

- POC project. Use at your own risk.
- Do NOT use unless all beneficiaries selected are supposed to get the same vaccine and dose.
- No option to register new user or add beneficiaries. This can be used only after beneficiary has been added through the official app/site
- If you accidentally book a slot, don't worry. You can always login to the official portal and cancel that.
- API Details: https://apisetu.gov.in/public/marketplace/api/cowin/cowinapi-v2
- And finally, I know code quality probably isn't great. Suggestions are welcome.

Enter the minimum number of slots to be available at the center:
Filter out centers with availability less than: 5

Script will now start to monitor slots in these districts every 15 seconds.
Note
: It will ask you monitor frequencyProTip
: Do not select less than 5 seconds it will bombard cowin server and will get your request blocked, create issues in OTP generation for your number. #85=================================================================================== Centers available in Ernakulam from 01-05-2021 as of 2021-04-30 15:13:44: 0 Centers available in Thrissur from 01-05-2021 as of 2021-04-30 15:13:44: 0 No viable options.

When a center with more than minimum number of slots is available, the script will make a beep sound - different frequency for different district. It will then display the available options as table:
=================================================================================== Centers available in Ernakulam from 01-05-2021 as of 2021-04-30 15:34:19: 1 Centers available in Thrissur from 01-05-2021 as of 2021-04-30 15:34:19: 0 +-------+----------------+------------+-------------+------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | idx | name | district | available | date | slots | +=======+================+============+=============+============+==============================================================================+ | 1 | Ayyampilly PHC | Ernakulam | 30 | 01-05-2021 | ['09:00AM-10:00AM', '10:00AM-11:00AM', '11:00AM-12:00PM', '12:00PM-02:00PM'] | +-------+----------------+------------+-------------+------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ----------> Wait 10 seconds for updated options OR ----------> Enter a choice e.g: 1.4 for (1st center 4th slot): 1.3

Before the next update, you'll have 10 seconds to provide a choice in the format
centerIndex.slotIndex
eg: The input1.4
will select the vaccination center in second row and its fourth slot. -
After successful slot booking, the appointment slip will be downloaded in your current working directory in the format
mobile_appointmentno
.
Can't setFont(Times-Roman) missing the T1 files?
Originally <class 'TypeError'>: makeT1Font() argument 2 must be str, not None
Solution 1: Then run the python script directly in the src folder after installing the required modules from requirements.txt. That solved it for me
Solution 2: If you are running ubantu(tested) or Windows, this problem is due to some font files from package (reportlab) which are included in arch linux but not on Ubuntu. Follow these steps to install reportlab correctly. It can be done after you have installed all the requirements rom txt file.
-
git clone https://github.com/Distrotech/reportlab.git
-
cd reportlab
-
python3 setup.py install
This will download all the font files.
Solution 3: Try to perform the test first in test folder for captcha first to see if this error still there.
Solution 4: (Recommended) Try to use this Linux executable " ./covid-vaccine-slot-booking-linux " file directly from terminal it does not require anything to install just like windows exe. Windows exe is under going testing
Regarding beep package - Device not found or beep not found
Solution : Follow these steps for Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install beep
#Install this oncesudo modprobe pcspkr
#This will solve Device not found error- Testing beep is simple just type
beep
in terminal, this will produce a beep sound from your speakers.
SMS is not read automatically
Solution: Make sure the settings shown below are the same on your phone:
![]() Using IFTTT: This number must match the number you enter while running the script. |
![]() CowinOTPRetriever App: Make sure the switch is flipped on. |
