NAME

find-open-vaccination-appointments - find open vaccination appointments at HEB locations

DESCRIPTION

find-open-vaccination-appointments is a script to check HEB for open vaccination appointment slots in Texas.

find-open-vaccination-appointments downloads the availability data from HEB every 20 seconds, then checks the wanted locations for available appointment slots.
