This is a Selenium-based bot that automates the process of checking for earlier road test appointments on the ICBC website. If an earlier appointment is found, the bot sends an email notification.

• Logs into the ICBC appointment system using credentials from a .env file
• Checks for an earlier available road test appointment
• Sends an email notification if an earlier appointment is found
• Runs periodically (e.g., every 10 minutes)

• Python 3.11.4
• Google Chrome browser
• ChromeDriver (matching the installed Chrome version)
• A Gmail account for email notifications

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/codingpog/Road-Test-Booking-Bot.git
   cd Road-Test-Booking-Bot

2. Create a virtual environment for Windows (optional but recommended):

   python -m venv .venv     # Create the virtual environment
   Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process  # Temporarily allow PowerShell scripts to run in the current session
   .venv\Scripts\activate.PS1  # Activate virtual environment in PowerShell

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install selenium

   pip install python-dotenv

   pip install python-dateutil

   pip install yagmail

   pip install schedule

4. Set up your .env file with the following format:

   LAST_NAME=YourLastName
   LICENSE_NUMBER=YourLicenseNumber
   KEYWORD=YourKeyword
   EMAIL[email protected]
   PASSWORD=your-app-password (set up app password in Gmail first)

   ⚠️ Important: Do not share your .env file or push it to GitHub.

5. Download and place chromedriver.exe in the project folder. Ensure it matches your Chrome version.

Run the script to check for earlier appointments:

python main.py
