IND Appointment Checker

Are you tired of having an appointment scheduled in 2 months?

This script allows you to query the IND API and find the earliest appointment possible. It will check every 5 seconds, which will usually guarantee you an appointment the very next day if someone cancels.

(Keep in mind this only checks for available appointments, you have to book it yourself)

Download Latest Release:

Windows (due to the tool used to package the release into one file it might be flagged by your antivirus)

Linux

Quickstart

If you have a Python interpreter you can do the following steps (otherwise read the next subsection first):

  1. Open the directory in your shell/terminal/command prompt/... with the main.py file
    1. On Linux and Mac:
      1. Open Terminal if it is not open
      2. Use command cd to open the directory: e.g. cd ~/Downloads/IND-Appointment-Check
    2. On Windows:
      1. Open the directory in Explorer
      2. Type cmd in the address bar An Explorer window with cmd in the address bar
      3. Hit Enter button on the keyboard
  2. Run the code
    1. Type python main.py (On Mac and Linux try python3 main.py first) How it looks like on Windows: Windows command example
    2. If the command above say that command python is not found or similar then:
      1. Use the full path to Python interpreter:
        1. E.g. on Linux and Mac \usr\bin\python3 main.py
        2. E.g. on Windows C:/Python/python main.py or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Python\Python310\python (310 is a sample interpreter version)
      2. Maybe you do not have any Python interpreter :)
  3. If you see SyntaxError then you have too old or too new Python. 3.7-3.10 is working fine for sure. Try/install one of these versions.

If you have no Python interpreter or not working version of interpreter

  1. For Linux the process is straightforward, just find the instruction for your distributive.
  2. For Mac and Windows there are instructions but the installation wizard has many options that are not usually covered.
    1. For Mac brew or the official installation utility can be used.
    2. The official installation utilities are on https://www.python.org/downloads/. Choose the right OS.
    3. "Add Python to PATH" means that you can call python without the full path (see running examples above). However, it overwrites another python. Be careful.
    4. You need nothing from the optional features for this app but at least pip and py launcher are recommended to install to avoid some problems in the future.
    5. "Add Python to environment variables" is the same as "Add Python to PATH".
    6. Other options can be left as-is.
