For people moving to Norway, we need an appointment with UDI. This script lets you find cancellations.
First, download Python 2. It might work with Python 3 but this hasn't been tested. Then, load its dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
The config file is a JSON file, with keys:
- username — Your UDI username
- password — Likewise, your UDI password
- wait_if_earlier_than — An ISO formatted date, eg 2019-11-28. The script will pause if it finds an appointment before this.
- (optional) sleep_on_success: How many seconds to hold the browser open. Defaults to 3600.
It's convenient to put it in config.json. Example:
{
"username": "[email protected]",
"password": "hunter2",
"wait_if_earlier_than": "2019-02-03"
}
You should make an initial appointment with UDI. Then set up the config file, as specified above. Run the script with:
UDIdriver.py config.json
It will wait if it finds an appointment earlier than its configured wait_if_earlier_than date. Otherwise it will terminate. The last line of the script's output will be the ISO date of the earliest appointment that it could find.
If the script waits, you should choose the appointment that suits you best, and only close the Chromium session once you've made your rebooking.
