I built a Python + PyAutoGUI bot after discovering that alternating between in-person and phone channels refreshed appointment availability without forcing a page reload or requiring users to re-enter all personal data. The project automates that repetitive step and was published and analyzed by Chema Alonso on 'Un informatico en el lado del mal' as an ethical alternative to groups reselling public appointments.
