It also provides endpoints to retrieve the saved data.

Features

1. Pulls driving exam dates and times for various categories (theory, manual, and automatic) and cities in Georgia;
2. Uses randomized User-Agents when sending HTTP requests;
3. Periodically triggers data update every 10 minutes;
4. Provides a frontend static file server;
5. Logs events and errors using the logrus library.

• /api/update-dates - Fetches data from the API and updates the MongoDB collections.
• /api/get-theory - Retrieves theory exam dates and times.
• /api/get-manual - Retrieves manual driving exam dates and times.
• /api/get-auto - Retrieves automatic driving exam dates and times.
• /api/last-exec-time - Fetches the last execution timestamp.
