I'm having the same issue, it seems that the driver is unable to get the json file from DATE_URL. Stuck tho

sebaz9130 · 2023-04-04T20:33:23Z

Hi, same here, it seems that DATE_URL query is not retrieving the dates even getting the 304 from the request in the web site.

im having the same problem....

Soroosh-N · 2023-04-04T23:09:44Z

I refreshed the page on my own and checked the request headers. It seems the get URL is not the main reason for the problem. A header problem has caused the 404 Error. So, I checked the new request header and compared it with the manual get request, and these were the differences between the two requests.
My Manual Get Request:

Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8,application/signed-exchange;v=b3;q=0.7

X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest

I think it's the Referer. We should set the Referer into the header before requesting. I didn't check it yet. However, I believe this is the cause. CSRF can be the next reason.

Hi,
Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue, specifically regarding how we can add headers when calling "driver.get(DATE_URL)"?

jaimbox · 2023-04-05T03:43:51Z

This may solve the problem.

return driver.execute_script("var req = new XMLHttpRequest();req.open('GET', '" + str(url) + "', false);req.setRequestHeader('Accept', 'application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01');req.setRequestHeader('X-Requested-With', 'XMLHttpRequest'); req.setRequestHeader('Cookie', '_yatri_session=" + session + "'); req.send(null);return req.responseText;")

etomak1228 · 2023-04-05T04:01:02Z

Hi @jaimbox,

Can you please help where to input this?

sarathbp · 2023-04-05T04:35:43Z

Is it due to nee chrome version update?

etomak1228 · 2023-04-05T11:02:21Z

Hi guys, if someone have the fix. Please help us.

jaimbox · 2023-04-05T18:48:29Z

Hi @jaimbox,

Can you please help where to input this?

With Selenium in Python you can run javascript, put it in the place where you need to get the available dates.

sebaz9130 · 2023-04-05T19:10:36Z

Hi I was able to get the dates by adding the following code:

    def get_date(self):
        self.driver.get(DATE_URL)
        if not self.is_logged_in():
            self.login()
            return self.get_date()
        else:
            headers = {
            "accept": "application/json",
            "User-Agent": self.driver.execute_script("return navigator.userAgent;"),
            "Referer": f"https://ais.usvisa-info.com/{COUNTRY_CODE}/niv/schedule/{SCHEDULE_ID}/appointmenmt",
            "Cookie": "_yatri_session=" + self.driver.get_cookie("_yatri_session")["value"],
            'X-Requested-With':'XMLHttpRequest',
            }
            #print(headers)
            r = requests.get(DATE_URL, headers=headers)
            #print(r.status_code, r.json())
            #content = self.driver.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, 'pre').text
            #date = json.loads(content)
            date = r.json()
            return date

Now I'm trying the same for TIME_URL, but no luck.

The following works for me, with the @jaimbox code, when loading date you need to load all the dates in the appointment site

driver.get(APPOINTMENT_URL)
session = driver.get_cookie("_yatri_session")["value"]
NEW_GET = driver.execute_script("var req = new XMLHttpRequest();req.open('GET', '" + str(DATE_URL) + "', false);req.setRequestHeader('Accept', 'application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01');req.setRequestHeader('X-Requested-With', 'XMLHttpRequest'); req.setRequestHeader('Cookie', '_yatri_session=" + session + "'); req.send(null);return req.responseText;")

For times, you just have to do the same in get_time fonction.
For example

time_url = TIME_URL % date
session = driver.get_cookie("_yatri_session")["value"]
NEW_TIME = driver.execute_script("var req = new XMLHttpRequest();req.open('GET', '" + str(time_url) + "', false);req.setRequestHeader('Accept', 'application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01');req.setRequestHeader('X-Requested-With', 'XMLHttpRequest'); req.setRequestHeader('Cookie', '_yatri_session=" + session + "'); req.send(null);return req.responseText;")

@Orastikroat I would like to, but now I'm struggling with the site IP blocking. After a couple of uploads, the site doesn't load and I don't know if it's really the IP. I don't know if you have the same issue.

def get_driver():
if LOCAL_USE:
dr = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()))
else:
dr = webdriver.Remote(command_executor=HUB_ADDRESS, options=webdriver.ChromeOptions())
return dr

The above needs to be inserted before

driver = get_driver()

Orastikroat · 2023-04-06T15:01:32Z

@AdriandLiu you're a genius!!! thank you so much brother much appreciate it! it works after the driver amendment

sarathbp · 2023-04-06T15:18:16Z

@AdriandLiu will it work for group ?

Yah, I was aware of that, it was a draft. Thanks for pointing it out, I have added the missing functions to the comment.

@AdriandLiu will it work for group ?

I'm not sure, feel free to test it yourself and let us know the results.

sarathbp · 2023-04-06T15:38:40Z

@AdriandLiu I am sorry to to inform you that I do not have any programming background and I was looking to expedite my family appointment prior to the current date. I was searching online and ended up in this discussion.

sebaz9130 · 2023-04-06T15:41:13Z

@AdriandLiu thanks for your help I've been doing some changes in order for the script to work, but I'm stuck on MY_CONDITION.

`Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "visa_fix.py", line 250, in <module>
    date = get_available_date(dates)
  File "visa_fix.py", line 220, in get_available_date
    if MY_CONDITION(month, day):
NameError: name 'MY_CONDITION' is not defined

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "visa_fix.py", line 271, in <module>
    time.sleep(EXCEPTION_TIME)
NameError: name 'EXCEPTION_TIME' is not defined`

AdriandLiu · 2023-04-06T15:44:02Z

@sebaz9130

My bad, I have added the missing variables/functions there, please check the latest updates of #28 (comment)

Sorry mine is individual appointment request, afraid my inputs are not helpful here.

JesseWest7 · 2023-04-06T17:43:10Z

Happily, it now works, but after a few searches, it will be banned. I'm not sure if this is an IP level ban.

yashshah · 2023-04-06T17:44:39Z

@AdriandLiu Thanks!

Don't we need to check for login in get_date():

    if not is_logged_in():
        login()
        return get_date()

sarathbp · 2023-04-06T17:55:05Z

@uxDaniel anyway to make it suitable for a group ?

CamiloContrerasPhD · 2023-04-06T18:15:27Z

@Orastikroat my apologies for not putting the code, it is a mess for now in my PC, thanks @AdriandLiu for sharing the clean code.
As @JesseWest7 I'm being also banned, some ideas about it?
Even if we change of IP, even for just 4 searches, we'll be banned, so impossble to keep a VPN changing constantly.

sebaz9130 · 2023-04-06T18:21:47Z

Hi @Camilo2015 I know the website banned us for too many attempts so what I've been doing is just try every 5 or 7 min, so far I have not gotten banned.

JesseWest7 · 2023-04-06T18:49:28Z

This seems to be an update to the site, before this, set 20S or 300S retry, will be banned in about 4 hours, this is inevitable. Now try 5-6 times and be banned. It seems that the retry time can only be extended to resolve the ban, but earlier I set the retry time to 10 minutes and it was still banned after 4 hours, so it is not clear what the new rule is

Orastikroat · 2023-04-06T20:39:41Z

it's okay brother thanks for your effort tho

rohitsakala · 2023-04-07T15:51:55Z

Can someone share the new values for

STEP_TIME = 0.5 # time between steps (interactions with forms): 0.5 seconds
RETRY_TIME = 6010 # wait time between retries/checks for available dates: 10 minutes
EXCEPTION_TIME = 6030 # wait time when an exception occurs: 30 minutes
COOLDOWN_TIME = 60*60 # wait time when temporary banned (empty list): 60 minutes

without getting banned ?

do you guys know some service i can pay for handle this scenario?

JesseWest7 · 2023-04-21T09:58:05Z

@brunojs02
I think this is account level disabling, of course the retry time set to 10 minutes can trigger the cooldown after 4 hours.

brunojs02 · 2023-04-21T12:54:47Z

@brunojs02 I think this is account level disabling, of course the retry time set to 10 minutes can trigger the cooldown after 4 hours.

I disagree, beucase i couldn't load the page anymore, probabily a cnd block
PS: with 5g the page load correctly

KaranmaanCa · 2023-04-22T05:40:54Z

Well hi guys, i don't know anything about programming and aren't able to execute this in my pc , but now it seems that it's not worth to even run this file because appointments are very unpredictable and as we know website bans after 10-15 searches for 10 hours, so it's not worth until we can find any unban code . I know a Chinese coder who successfully made it but he isn't interested in sharing or selling his codes , so it's upto you guys to find and share it , thank you.
