$ pip install -r requirements.txt

To schedule a check-in, run the following command

$ python3 southwest.py CONFIRMATION_NUMBER FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME

Notifications

Notification URLs

Users can be notified on successful and failed check-ins. This is done through the Apprise library. To start, first gather the service url you want to send notifications to (information on how to create service urls can be found on the Apprise Readme). Then put it in your configuration file.

{
  "notification_urls": "service://my_service_url"
}

If you have more than one service you want to send notifications to, you can put them in an array:

{
  "notification_urls": [
    "service://my_first_service_url",
    "service://my_second_service_url"
  ]
}

Notification Level

You can also select the level of notifications you want to receive.

{
  "notification_level": 1
}

Level 1 means you receive successful scheduling and check-in messages and all messages in later levels.
Level 2 means you receive only error messages (failed scheduling and check-ins).

Test The Notifications

To test if the notification urls work, you can run the following command

$ python3 southwest.py --test-notifications
