I made some changes and got the script working up to the point of calling createAppointment, but it does require some manual steps that I haven't figured out how to automate yet. The call to createAppointment fails with an error message saying that it's expecting 'group-booking' instead of 'individual-booking'. I have not been able to figure out why it keeps expecting 'group-booking'. However, I used the logs to at least identify which sites advertise availability and actually have time slots (for some reason that is often not the case), and just focused my manual search on those sites. Got an appointment Jan. 2.

@normtown my JS knowledge is very limited, but I got the script working using only raw fetch, after I observed a full successful booking in the dev console. See my fork. Definitely not the nicest approach, and some manual preparation needed, but it worked for me (appointment already happened). Maybe these requests help you understand the new "group booking" mechanism? I also revised the search algorithm to check availability for all found locations and not just the first.

@laenger Nice work.

@laenger Are you able to re-post your gist (if you're comfortable with it)? I was going to get around to modifying my version of the script today using yours as a reference to help guide fixes, but found a 404 where your gist used to be.

@normtown updated the link above

Thank you for your work!

I managed to adapt my method of using the shipped API. I can't import the webpack module / chunk directly, but we can fish it out of the virtual DOM nonetheless. The gist has been updated.
