A Web Bot for Booking the Closest Possible Appointment on ICBC Driver Licensing

This bot snipes the closest time (based on your logic) for an ICBC Road Test.

Pre-requisites and Installations

1. Basic knowledge of:
   • Working with Command Line interface
   • Basic knowledge of JavaScript
   • Basic knowledge of Node.js and NPM
2. You need to install Node.js (https://nodejs.org/en/download/)

Setup the bot

1. Rename the config-sample.js to config.js

2. Replace your ICBC credentials with the placeholders, and for automating the whole process, setup your email's IMAP protocol and replace the placeholders with your creds in config.js as well. ❗Don't forget to keep that config.js file safe from any accesses❗

3. Change the logic to your favour
   In config.js use any of these 4 syntaxes to filter out the dates you want to book your appointment on:

4. There are other configurations you can change in config.js as well. Feel free to take a look at and maybe change them as you see fit.

For it to automatically read your email inbox, enable the IMAP protocol and turn on the "allow for less-secure apps" in your settings.

Update❗❗: Gmail updated their security policies. So, now you have to make sure you enabled your 2-step-verification on your gmail. And refer to this link to setup and use "App Passwords": https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833

In the App Password setting, select the "Other" option from the drop down (see the image below):

Then pick a name (whatever you want) and just click "Generate". You'll get a random generated password. Copy that and use it as your IMAP password in config.js.

• You then will use your App Password instead of your regular gmail password, in the config.js
