Impf Bot.py 🐍⚡ – Bot für Impftermine

Entspahnt in den Sommer ☀

Automatisierte Impftermin-Vermittlung des offiziellen ImpfterminService - Der Patientenservice 116117. Der Bot kann mehrere Standorte parallel durchsuchen und auf verfügbare Terminen überwachen. Dabei wird der gesamte Prozess von der Vermittlungscode-Beschaffung bis zur Reservierung und Benachrichtigung freier Termine ganzheitlich abgebildet.

Wenn ein freier Impftermin / Slot gefunden wird, sendet der Bot eine Benachrichtigung via Zulip, Telegram oder Pushover (Slack, Webhooks, ... sind einfach integrierbar) und macht den Benutzer via Sprachausgabe auf den Slot aufmerksam. So kann der SMS Bestätigungscode manuell oder von überall unterwegs via Lieblings-Chat App übermittelt werden - Impf Bot.py erledigt den Rest. - detaillierter Workflow

Der Bot verwendet Browser-Automatisierung, die im Hintergrund laufen kann und es dem Benutzer ermöglicht manuell einzugreifen sowie einfach nachzuvollziehen, was gerade passiert. Die wichtigen Timings können dabei eingestellt werden, um einen Timeout (bzw. Shadow Ban) zu vermeiden.

This is an improved Python implementation of the Java-based 💉🤖 Impf-Bot which did a lot of the heavy lifting.

Workflow

This is a two-step process. First you'll need a Vermittlungscode to then book a vaccination appointment. Each center^* has its own valid Vermittlungscode, which you'll need to acquire first to advance to the next step.

1. If you do not have a Vermittlungscode for a center yet - you can either follow the standard workflow described below or create one instantly (see Run it)
   • The bot will check the site to see if there is vacancy
   • If there is vacancy, the bot will enter your age, email and phone number
   • The bot will alert you that there is vacancy using the alert backends
   • ImpfterminService will send you a SMS with a confirmation code
   • Either enter the code manually or send it to the bot using sms:123-456
   • The Vermittlungscode is sent to your email
   • Enter the Vermittlungscode on the center in settings.py and restart the bot 🚨
2. If you have a Vermittlungscode for a center
   • The bot will enter your Vermittlungscode
   • It will check if there are available appointments
   • If there are appointments, it will alert you using your alert backend
   • You can choose an appointment using your favorite chat app appt:1 or book the appointment manually
   • To book an appointment manually when you're not on your PC, use a remote access tool (I prefer AnyDesk, but TeamViewer also works) to access your machine remotely

^{* Every center is hosted on a server, indicated by the numbers in the URL, e.g. https://001-iz.impfterminservice.de/impftermine/service?plz=70713 is server 001. Vermittlungscodes are valid for every center on the given server ref}

⚠ Warning: The online booking isn't an authorization

On the booking date you still have to bring the documents with you, to proof that you are qualified to receive the vaccination. Check out the official guidelines and make sure you are qualified for them. This bot doesn't help you get a privilege. It only allows you to get a date without losing the nerves or waisting a lifetime in pointless callcenter calls.

Setup 👾

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Selenium for Chrome
• Google Chrome
• pip3 install -r requirements.txt

For Dummies

I don't know anything about programming! And CLI gives me anxiety

Don't worry. It's easy. Follow this Step-by-Step Guide and then come back.

For Techies

git clone https://github.com/alfonsrv/impf-botpy.git
cd impf-botpy
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
# configure settings.py
mv settings.sample.py settings.py
python3 main.py

Configuration

1. Rename settings.sample.py to settings.py and open it with your favorite text editor (recommended: Sublime Text)
2. Edit the LOCATIONS by adding your Impfzentrum with the name as shown on ImpfterminService
3. If you already have a Vermittlungscode for one of the centers, enter it at code - otherwise leave empty
4. Enter your age, mail and phone number
5. The rest of the settings is ok as is. If you want to check locations with multiple browsers at the same time, dig into the Advanced Features section.

Alerting

Audio alerting is already preconfigured. If you also want to use smartphone notifications in order to interact with the bot remotely, follow this setup guide.

Run it ⚡

• python3 main.py und entspahnen
• python3 main.py --alerts to test configured alerts
• python3 main.py --code to instantly create a Vermittlungscode (works best from 23:00 to 07:00)

Docker

Please refer to the Docker Setup to run on a headless server.

Adding Backends for Alerts

Contributions are welcome! Adding your favorite backend (e.g. Slack) for alerting is easy. Simply add your preferred integration to

1. alert.py and integrate it with read_backend() and send_alert()
2. constructor.py if your API is a bit more complex to keep things tidy
3. settings.py add your relevant settings (must include ENABLED flag)
4. main.py in print_config for NextGen UX
5. Optional: Setup Guide in ALERTS.md
6. Pull Request & Done 💥

Unit Tests

Good with pyTest? Help this project creating some proper test coverage! Unfortunately I'm pretty unexperienced with mocking requests and what good tests should look like. Even just a few are enough, so I can get the hang of it.

Stay Up-to-Date

⚠ Please note: Even though this bot is geared towards being as solid as possible, you should consider regularly checking this repository (site) to ensure you have the latest version. Unfortunately this is a bit of an arms race as the website is under constant modification. Checking the version at the top of the page and comparing it with python main.py --version is usually quite a good way to see if you're up-to-date. Alternatively you can get Notifications on top of the page to know whenever the code changes.
When updating especially ensure your settings.py has all the options!

Auch ich wünschte, dass es so n Tool nicht geben müsste, aber ist aktuell einfach absolute Katastrophe. Seid vernünftig und missbraucht den Bot nicht, ja?
