View monthly availability.\n  2. Narrow down to available slots on a specific day.\n  3. Book the desired appointment.\n\n## Prerequisites\n- Python 3.8+\n- Chrome WebDriver (compatible with your version of Google Chrome)\n- Required Python libraries (install via `requirements.txt`)\n\n## Installation\n1. Clone the repository:\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/Nathius262/appointment-booking-bot.git\n   cd appointment-booking-bot\n\n2. Install dependencies:\n\n```bash\n  pip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\n3. Download and install Chrome WebDriver:\n\n  Ensure it matches your installed version of Google Chrome.\n  Download here.\n  \n## Configuration\nUpdate the config.json file (if included) with your preferences, e.g., locationCode, realmId, categoryId, and dates.\nAlternatively, provide inputs directly in the script.\n\n## Usage\n1. Run the bot:\n\n``` bash\npython booking_bot.py\n```\n\n2. The bot will:\n\n  - Check the availability of appointments for a specific month.\n  - Loop through available dates and fetch time slots.\n  - Solve CAPTCHA dynamically.\n  - Optionally book an available appointment.\n3. Results will be logged in the console or saved to an output file.\n\n## Files\n`booking_bot.py:` Main script that implements the bot functionality.\n\n`captcha_solver.py:` Handles CAPTCHA solving using OCR or APIs.\n\n`config.json:` Configuration file for user input and bot settings.\n\n`requirements.txt:` Python dependencies for the project.\n\n## Example Workflow\n1. Start by viewing the monthly calendar:\nFetch and print all available dates.\n2. Navigate to specific days:\nScrape and display available time slots.\n3. Fill out the form and book the appointment:\nSubmit user details and solve CAPTCHA.\n\n## CAPTCHA Solving\nThis bot uses a placeholder method for solving CAPTCHA. Replace the logic in captcha_solver.py with one of the following:\n\n## OCR (e.g., Tesseract).\nThird-party CAPTCHA-solving services (e.g., 2Captcha).\n\n## Disclaimer\nThis project is for educational purposes only.\nEnsure compliance with the website's terms of service before using this bot.\n\n\n## License\nThis project is licensed under the MIT License.\n\n## Contributing\nContributions are welcome!
