Inspiration

Finding a vaccination slot using the government's website is a bit hard as it list all sessions(including unavailable slots together) This makes it hard to search for available slots especially in mobile devices

What it does

The website I built uses the government CoWin APIs to fetch the details of vaccination centers in the selected district and show the details of all the available slots in a simple and mobile friendly UI.

How I built it

The site is built using NodeJS with frameworks like express, axios, ejs etc. Uses CoWin API to get the data.

Challenges I ran into

CoWin API had some restrictions on server locations and type. This was overcame by specifying compatible headers in API GET request.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The site is running without errors in development server

What I learned

I learned a lot about EJS, Express and routing sites. Also I got to know a lot about hosting sites.

What's next for Kerala Vaccine Finder

A telegram bot that sends alerts every 10 minutes about the available vaccination slots
