possible approach with Playwright

• use JavaScript capable framework (Playwright) along with (headless) browser to request and navigate in target page
• get (unclean) information from automatically rendered page (just like in normal browser)
• send telegram notification as soon as earlier appointment (compared to currently booked one) is available
