# NC DMV Reservation Tools
> Dealing with DMV is often a frustrating experience. But it doesn't have to be!
Automated availability checking and monitoring for DMV offices across the state of North Carolina, tested to work on Jan 2024.
No feature will be added unless I need it myself. If you need additional features, you're welcome to contribute a PR. :)

## Background
DMVs within reasonable distance of where I live are always completely booked, so I made this tool to help me spot when someone cancelled their appointment so I could snag it.
Since the tool was made for self-use only, currently it's hard-coded to only checks for the appointment type of `1st time Driver License Test (over 18)`. If you need additional features, you're welcome to contribute a PR. :)
I've used it to spot availability slot twice after running it for a few hours, and secured my reservation. :)
## Quick Start
### Installation
```bash
# install google-chrome / google-chrome-stable, and
# install chromedriver with your favorite package manager and put it in your $PATH
brew install chromedriver
# or sudo pacman -S chromedriver
# python3.12+ required
pipx install ncdmv-reservation
```
### Running
```
$ ncdmv-driver-license-office-availability | jq | tee ncdmv.json
