During the pandemic, my University's gyms had 2 hour time slots that opened up 6 hours in advance. As you could imagine, they were very competitive and required being on your computer exactly when they dropped. To solve this problem I created a Selenium web bot in Python that uses the Windows Task Manager on the backend to reserve spots when I want. The bot uses a command line interface to receive parameters such as username, password, date, time and location.
You can read more about the details of my bot on this blog post I wrote.
To use this bot you must first have a Windows OS - I cover other scheduling alternatives in my post.
Create a folder, clone my repository to it and run:
pip install -r requirements.txtThen you call the script and pass in your arguments:
python scheduler.py --u username --pw password --flr location --d date --t time
