# booking-shift-webscraper
## Jen
Jen is a Discord bot that collects web-scraped data from a booking shift webpage using Selenium.
This data is then transmitted as notifications detailing available shifts/booked days to a designated text channel on Discord.
The script offers flexibility through a set of boolean flags that allow the user to specifically choose their preferred settings.
## Webscraped Website
This website operates on a first-come, first-served basis for booking shifts.
Reserved shifts can be canceled up to two days before the shift.
However, if a particular day and shift are fully booked and someone cancels, the newly available shift isn't automatically made known to everyone.

- Automatic Booking
- Can automatically book desired shifts based on predefined script selection.
- Shift Filtering
- Filters shifts based on specific days and shifts, allowing users to focus on preferred time slots.
