With Docker (recommended)

# Build
docker build -t anmeldung-berlin .
# Get an appointment
docker run \
    -v $(pwd)/output:/home/myuser/output \
    anmeldung-berlin

Local on Mac OS

# Install
npm i
# Get an appointment
NODE_OPTIONS="--max_old_space_size=30000 --max-http-header-size=80000" \
    npm start

Output

The ./output directory will save a picture of the appointment confirmation page and a JSON file with appointment info. Check your email inbox (and spam folder) for the appointment confirmation.

Known Issues

No verification is made of successful booking. If you click submit, you'll get a 'Success!!!' but double check the booking in the case of bad form inputs.
There is a Captcha service that can be triggered, which is not handled.

Other Services' Appointments

Two services are available (Anmeldung and Change of Passport for EU Blue Card), and this project can be easily extended to include other services' appointments by adding service names and numbers to ./constants.json.

Contributing
