Overview

Detached fork from https://github.com/rohit0718/BBDC-Bot. Refer to previous upstream.

Background

The upstream code does not work for class 2b (bike) and had logic built to mass book for class 3 (car). Revisited the logic flow and did not integrate auto booking as it requires cancellation step. Moved from hassle of installing selenium to using selenium-chrome docker image. Using podman as I prefer it over docker :)

Changelog

Added

• Added notification to telegram

Updated

• Edited all code to be non deprecated
• Edited logic flow as initial process does not match existing BBDC site

Remove

• Original code was meant for mass booking of class 3 (car). Not well suited for class 2b (bike)
• Remove auto booking
