goes-notify

This app will simply parse json output from the interview scheduler for many of CBP's Trusted Traveler Programs, including Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, US/Mexico FAST, and US/Canada FAST. You don't need to provide a login, it will simply check the available dates against your current interview date, then notify you if a better date can be locked in.

Based on the ge-cancellation-checker that originally utilized phantomjs to login as the user: https://github.com/davidofwatkins/ge-cancellation-checker

Getting started

• Clone the repo
• Enter required fields into config.json:
  • Look up your enrollment center in the list below
  • Enter your current interview date in Month name-Day-Year format. E.g., "December 10, 2017"

Usage

Run the script with python: python2 goes-notify.py

If you're running this on a machine you'll be using while it's searching, you can set the no-email config setting and receive a local macOS notification when the script finds a new appointment.

With the use_gmail config setting, you can send yourself an email when an appointment is found. Note: if you have two-factor authentication enabled for your account, you'll need to generate an app-specific password and add that to config.json.

If you would like to check multiple nearby locations at once you need to make copies the original file you just edited and change the location code on each config file. Then in seperate windows run each copy of the diffrent locations.

Using Docker

This is the easiest way. Install docker (any operating system). Just make a copy of the config.json file, update it accordingly, and then run the below command:

docker run -d -v /path/to/config.json:/app/config.json drewster727/goes-notify

GOES center codes

The table below may not be complete. If you don't see your location, visit this link for a current complete list; find your desired location; and use the 'id' field as the location code in your config file:

Location codes for other Trusted Traveler programs

Appointments for other programs, including NEXUS, SENTRI, US/Mexico FAST, and US/Canada FAST are available using the same scheduler API as Global Entry. Many sites use the same location id for multiple types of appointments, but some do not (e.g., Blaine, WA is 5020 for Nexus Appointments and 13321 for Global Entry; Ft. Erie is 5228 for US/Canada FAST and 5022) so it is best to consult the lists below to make sure you are requesting the correct type of appointment.

Retrieve the location list for each type of appointment using the URLs below. Find your desired location, and then use the 'id' field as the 'locationId' in your config file.

• NEXUS location list

• SENTRI location list

• US/Mexico FAST location list

• US/Canada FAST location list
