Bitte impfe mich! Please vaccinate me!

This is a Python script that utilises the impfstoff.link API to get you a vaccination appointment.

This script calls https://api.impfstoff.link/?robot=1 once every second (or so) to see if any new appointments have been found by the API's backend. If a new appointment is found, the corresponding Doctolib link is opened automatically in a new tab.

Using this script might save you a couple of seconds compared to using the website manually. That could be the difference you need.

Run the script

To set the script going, simply open up a terminal in the repo's directory, and run:

python bitte_impfe_mich.py

You might have to install the (third-party) package requests first:

python -m pip install requests

The script should work on all versions of Python 3.6+ (written and tested on 3.8.5).

If you make adjustments, please respect the API's rate limit of 1 request per second. Feel free to share your improvements by opening a merge request.

Please note...

Thousands of people are trying simultaneously to do exactly the same thing as you are; this script gives you no guarantee of securing a slot. During testing, the majority of freshly opened tabs have already shown "Keine Verfügbarkeiten"/"No availabilities". For the rest that aren't already booked before you have a chance, you still have to click the buttons as quickly as possible.
