CowGoesMoo 🐮💬💉

This software will scan for COVID vaccine appointments at supported pharmacies. The current list of supported pharmacies is here. Upon finding a potential open appointment, the app will notify you via desktop notification, email, and/or SMS (depending on how you've configured it).

Sadly, this initial version of the app only supports usage in USA. Specifically, SMS notifications and location configuration are both designed for USA users.

If you'd like to see what the app is doing, then configure it to show its browser window. Then you'll see something like this: demonstration

Getting Started

In this initial version, the app must run locally.

  1. Install Node.js v14. Clone this repo to your computer. Navigate your terminal to your local copy of this repo.
  2. Run npm i in a terminal to install dependencies.
  3. Rename the privateConfig-example.js file to just "privateConfig.js".
  4. Edit the contents of privateConfig.js file with your own location and contact info.
  5. Run npm start in a terminal to start scanning.

By default, the program will only show desktop notifications and print helpful logs in the terminal. You can edit the privateConfig.js file to also send notifications via a combo of email and SMS.
