Automated Sports Facility Slot Booker
Budget: $2 – $8 CAD
I need a small automation script that logs in to my preferred sports-facility booking site with the credentials I will supply, watches the calendar for openings, and grabs a slot the moment one becomes free.
Key details you should know
• The booking target is a sports facility, not healthcare or ticketing.
• My own username and password will be provided; no account creation is required.
• Selection logic is “book when a chosen facility posts availability”—I’ll give you the court / pitch IDs and any blackout times.
Ideal flow
1. Script signs in, polls the relevant facility pages at a reasonable interval, and detects newly released times.
2. On a match, it completes the reservation automatically and confirms success (simple console log, email, or push notification—whatever is quickest for you to wire up).
3. Code runs headless and can be scheduled on a small VPS or my local machine. Python + Selenium or Playwright is perfectly fine, but I’m open to other reliable approaches.
Deliverables
• Well-commented source code
• A short read-me with setup steps and any dependencies
• Quick demo video or screenshots proving the booking flow works with a test slot
I’m aiming for a lightweight, dependable solution rather than a full-blown enterprise system, so please propose the stack you’re most comfortable shipping quickly.
