FakeUserAgent Issue

checking an entire campground for any available sites?

Howdy, first of all, thanks for putting up this interesting project. I like to use the script to not necessarily catch a particular site but rather try to find a site out of the hundreds available. Is there a way to modify the script to achieve that? Thank you!!!

Automating / scheduling script using crontab on Ubuntu 16.04?

Just curious if anyone has automated this scrip?

or

Been successfull in automating/scheduling it using crontab on ubuntu 16.04
############
I edited the crontab here:

env EDITOR=nano crontab -e

then added the following line for testing

* * * * * /usr/bin/python3.5 /home/black/Documents/projects/pytests/campsite-checker/checker.py

This test fails.

When I run /usr/bin/python3.5 /home/black/Documents/projects/pytests/campsite-checker/checker.py
from the terminal I get the following error:

    print "You have 15 minutes to complete this reservation in the browser window."
                                                                                  ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to `'print'`

I believe crontab is failing to open and interact with the firefox gui application. However, I do not know why? 

Thanks,

error on ubuntu 16.04

Webrender,
Thanks for coding this up!

This is a newbie comment/ problem. Anyway, I get the following error message when trying to run the scrip n Ubuntu 16.04
##############
Traceback (most recent call last): File "./checker.py", line 94, in <module> driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefoxProfile) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/webdriver.py", line 152, in __init__ self.service.start() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 83, in start os.path.basename(self.path), self.start_error_message) selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH.

#################

However my test of the selenium functionality does work with the simple code below:

########################
`#!/usr/bin/env python

from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.ubuntu.com/')

#from selenium import webdriver

#browser = webdriver.Firefox()
#driver.get('https://www.apple.com')`
#################

Do you have any suggestions on how I might edit the checker.py file so that it will run successfully?

Thanks,

~ B

Check for 'not reservable before 10am' error on booking page

Not looping through multiple sites

Incredibly useful tool! However it is not checking multiple sites for availability, which I believe is the intention. Is there a specific way variables need to be defined to achieve this functionality?

https://www.recreation.gov/ Updated site script needs to be updated

Greetings Webrender,

The rec.gov site was just updated. As is such the script is no longer working.

Perhaps a python expert could update the script to work on the new site.

Thanks for your consideration.
