My colleague told me that searching for availability in the English vax booking system was a bit of a drag, so I wrote this little script to do the digging for you.

Post Body

Not sure if this qualifies for this subreddit, because I suspect most of you are already booked in, but... my colleague was looking for a vaccination centre that was close enough to him but had availability soon (e.g. not in July) and said that the booking website kinda sucked for getting that sort of data. You have to go into each location individually to see the availability.

So I wrote a small script that does all the searching for you if you give it a couple of bits of data.

https://github.com/ShetlandJ/nhsVaccinationScraper

The script goes into all the available centres near you and grabs all the relevant data and presents it back to you.

This is what the output looks like in your terminal/command prompt.

Potentially only useful if you are dev-y and have npm and node installed on your computer. The code isn't perfect by any means, but it helped my colleague and may help you too!
