Berlin Ausländerbehörde Termin Bot

A Selenium bot for obtaining an appointment at the Landesamt für Einwanderung aka Ausänderbehörde in Berlin.

I did not want to open source this as this makes it harder for the people without IT knowledge to obtain an appointment, but as there are already people who make a benefit of this (50 euro per appointment!) I thought it would be a good thing to make the tools available to everyone. This project is therefore a counter measurement against those people as well as the inability of the Ausländerbehörde to provide sufficient appointments.

Take a look at the video Hinter verschlossenen Türen – Mysterium Ausländerbehörde - ZDF Magazin Royale to find out more about the bad shape of this agency.

Setup

• git clone https://github.com/capital-G/berlin-auslanderbehorde-termin-bot.git
• Setup a virtualenv via virtualenv venv and activate it
• Install dependencies via pip3 install -r requirements.txt
• Put a chromedriver binary from https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads into the directory
• Configure berlin_bot.py according to your needs (see below)
• Start the bot via python3 berlin_bot.py

Configuration and Support

I do not give any kind of support and/or advice on how to configure this bot as I wrote this for a friend of mine and thankfully she was able to get an appointment with this bot. You can read the selenium docs and adjust berlin_bot.py in order to configure it according to your needs.
