Encountered 401 while using the SearchByPin feature.

Looks like there is an endpoint change from old to new

Attaching postman collection for reference: link

Hey Brother , You are working on public api or protected api (test server or production)

Because i am getting unauthorized access error , i am using protected test api , using free api given on cowin site and using updated bearer token

As per the docs https://github.com/yashwanthm/cowin-vaccine-booking/wiki/Usage-Guide
Point 6
"If you are not able to see the table within 5 seconds, then the tracking is not happening. Please refresh and start over. This can also happen when there are no vaccination centers in your pincode. Chaniging to district based tracking will help"
I do not see a pop-up as mentioned.
Moreover, I was using the bot to look for slots.
The slots opened ( as per notification from some other app : telegram group ) and the bot could not book it.
Please guide for the same.

Even though all slots at this location are booked, It still keeps asking for a captcha for the same location even half-hour after the slots have been booked.

By the way, thank you for the wonderful work.

Hi,
Does this support captcha?

Constantly feeding in new OTPs is tiresome, instead a scheduler should be used that automatically generates new OTPs and and IFTTT applet that auto detects this message and extracts OTP out of it

I have been receiving multiple OTP's from Cowin after using this portal. To be precise around 25-30 OTP's in a minute after an interval of every 1-2 hours.

Hi Yashwanth,

What I found is when I search by district it doesn't show the available slot and cpatcha, as soon as I search by pincode it shows me the Captcha with the availability but till then no slots avilable.

Amiyo

the current window session is ~15 mins is it possible to configure?

The filter for paid and free isn't working.

Currently this feature is present in track and book i.e, when you click on track and book and if the OTP expires or due to control policy(huge no. of requests from same IP) there is a voice note that says OTP is expired. This would be helpful even during still page also i.e, when you just enter the OTP and don't do anything after that.

This is present in App.js line no. - 535. Following lines can be kept common -

self.speak('Session expired!');
self.sendNotification('Session expired', 'Session expired, please login');

This way user knows that OTP is expired and can keep feeding the OTPs to keep it active.

Hi i am looking at few 404 errors for the filter i have attached the screenshot for the same

by default its looking for today's date, what if the user wants to select slots that are available tomorrow

hey, it me again, i was trying to host the exact copy of your repository on github pages, but it kept on throwing an error, can i know what configuration did you use? thanks

is there a way we can add manual booking rather than automatic

If a mobile number have more than one beneficiary added and they are of different category like one of 45+, one of 18+, one having vaccinated 1st dose which one this application will select?

Sir could u please tell this code will work or not.

Also it would be great if you post video on how to use it from start to booking.

While searching irrespective of the filter the full list of centre’s and availability/ for other age etc also shows up.. it’s a bit confusing, can we not restrict to show the list/ results only basis the filter given at time of running

Remove the Public Path from the slot check url
url should be https://cdn-api.co-vin.in/api/v2/appointment/sessions/calendarByPin?pincode=xxxxxx&date=xx-05-2021

Age group filter not working. Irrespective of the age group i select it shows slots for all the age group and also if the list could highlight availability first

The tracking is not refreshing the Vaccination Centers & Availability Info Section.
I have checked the CoWin Portal, It has updated data.
So I have to stop the tracking and start it again to see refreshed Screen with Vaccination Centers & Availability Info.

https://cdn-api.co-vin.in/api/v2/appointment/sessions/public/calendarByDistrict?district_id=10&date=08-05-2021
new
https://cdn-api.co-vin.in/api/v2/appointment/sessions/calendarByDistrict?district_id=10&date=08-05-2021

also use 3 sec delay between slot check instead of 1800 milliseconds, cowin may block ip temporary .

Currently there are no slots available for 560011 (18+ paid) but the bot shows 48 available. This has been confirmed from direct login on both Cowin and Argoyasetu

Hi, App is mot moving to slot selection even after there i an availability of slots

Hi Yashwanth,

After entering OTP, the data of vaccine availability is still showing from cache, which shouldn't be the case.
Please check why there is mismatch between live availability

Regards
Amiyo

sometimes slot becomes available on Cowin but the app doesn't catch it. While I am able to attempt scheduling an appointment on Cowin site, on this app I do not get any notification that slots are now available. Any reason why this could be happening.

Been trying to book a slot since last 3 days. However it’s not able to pick up a slot even when a centre opens up. Eg: i put in the otp for mumbai at 4.55 in pm and the app started tracking. At 5 pm a couple of hospitals opened up ( got notifications on telegram) however the slots are not getting instantly picked up even though app shows tracking. There is a 1 minute delay due to which the slots get fully booked. This has been happening since a few days now.

I was trying to book slot today through pin code search for 18+ category. Entered all the details and was waiting for availability prompt. I have also registered for Telegram notification developed by others. I started getting notification in Telegram for the pin code that I am searching in this app. This app was still looking for available slots. I thought it could be polling frequency, waited for few seconds but nothing happened. Stopped the search (track) and again initiated the track. The slots were already booked. Now, for the second pin code, got notification in the Telegram, this app is still tracking, this time stopped and clicked track again, it found few slots, started asking Captcha,did not get confirmation, it started asking again and again with the new captcha. I am sure of giving the correct captcha. Same thing happened for the 3rd pin code as well.

Note: I am using the app hosted by the author.

Few hospitals are getting updated in the portal which is not reflecting in this script

Once when we logged in and entered OTP, after that when the session got expired then again it is allowing to generate OTP
-> I tried refreshing the page
-> I tried reopening the tab
-> I tried clearing the data of the site from browser setting
But nothing worked for me

Not much of an issue but can you figure out how Aarogya Setu does not require captcha, then bookings can be made really fast !

Once the app starts i dont see it updating the vaccine slots, by the time any notification comes on another platform, the slots are already booked without getting any notification from this app.

If it’s possible please add to select free or paid dose

I have not had a chance to enter captcha yet but does it automatically focus on captcha or we have to click on the text field manually?

After the session expired, i am not able to log in, i have to click continuously on generate OTP button, this generally happens when a new slot opens up app session expires when trying to re-login nothing happens as soon as the booking closes then we can log in again.

hi, this is not automatically refreshing the page or centers. new center added in Cowin but not showing in this application until unless you manually refresh the page. it means no automatic refresh is happening.

You can ask user to select option 1,2,3,4

The https://app.cowin.gov.in/ has disabled the option to select multiple beneficiaries while scheduling. Does your app still support selection of multiple beneficiaries while scheduling ?

Co-Win Public APIs website says: "these APIs are subject to a rate limit of 100 API calls per 5 minutes per IP." APIs are now calling every 560ms. Please make it to once in 3 seconds. Or if not complicated, suggest steps for changing IPs frequently.

This is a great work. Appreciate you with big thanks. There's an issue currently as the Availability data is not displayed.

Can you please send desktop notification for session timeout and to enter captcha. It is really tough to be on earphones everytime.

setInterval of 1sec should do so that notifications will be pushed every second till the session gets established. Clear interval once session is back.

Sir,
I think sometimes when this web app shown for availability it requires captcha. Is it possible to put CAPTCHA before opening up of slot or captcha already display at ur web app during tracking and when the availability come at site and app speak when can just press the button of book. So I can get my slot. Cause what happened there is some delay in availability announcement by ur web app. Telegram notification come before ur app speaks. If captcha will be present and book on one step then good.
2. The umang app and arogya setu app proceed with no captcha. Umag app is fast than arogya setu. Umang is available on web portal also. Can u take or link api of umang with cowin , where without captcha booking can be possible
Pls do any stable solution. I am relying on ur web app from last two days. Availability come through telegram notification but app speak after it . And slot gone
Pls try something
