Court Scan

 

Overview

This was one of my first major projects. As an avid badminton player, I wanted a quick way to check the availability of courts around me and it quickly became rather tedious to look through the many schools and sport halls in my area to check for available courts. Hence I built this script where one simply enters the location where you would like to book courts such as yishun for example, and the script searches through all the schools and sport halls located in Yishun.

Note that this script only works during off peak hours as ActiveSG uses a quick booking feature during peak hours (7am-7.30am daily) which changes the entire booking process.
ActiveSG also warns users not to use any scripts to book courts and although this script does not techically book any courts, it simply adds it to your cart, it is a very fine grey area that this script is threading. Personally I have not used this script to book any courts so fair warning if you do decide to use it.

Setup

1. Change the USERNAME and PASSWORD variables to your own credentials in auth.py
2. Run pip install req.txt to install the required Python modules
3. Run main.py and input the location and timings you would like to search when prompted
4. Let the script work it's magic

Things to improve

• Figure out how to search for courts even during the quick booking timings
