USA visa appointment booking bot
A fully automated Python bot designed to help U.S. visa applicants secure consular appointment slots on usvisascheduling.com the moment they become available. By leveraging headless browser automation, CAPTCHA solving, and customizable scheduling parameters, this tool minimizes the time-consuming manual refresh and booking process.

Key Features
Multi-Account Support
Manage any number of profiles simultaneously—each with its own username, password, and up to three security questions—to accelerate slot searches across multiple consulates.
Configurable Date Range
Define a “from” and “to” date window for each account. The bot continuously polls available appointment calendars and instantly books the earliest slot that falls within your specified range.
Automated Refresh & Retry Logic
Automatically reloads the appointment page at a user-defined interval (default: every 20 seconds) for up to 20 minutes (or any custom duration) until a matching slot appears.
CAPTCHA Handling
Integrates seamlessly with 2Captcha (or alternate CAPTCHA-solving services) and pytesseract to bypass image-based challenges without manual intervention.
Undetectable Chrome Driver
Uses undetected_chromedriver to avoid bot-detection measures on the consular scheduling site.
Extensible GUI
Built with Tkinter for easy configuration—add, edit, or remove accounts and security questions on the fly, and tweak retry intervals or date-range parameters, all via a simple desktop interface.
Robust Error-Handling & Logging
Captures screenshots on failure, logs each booking attempt (success or error), and sends desktop notifications when an appointment is successfully scheduled.

How It Works
1. Configuration:
Launch the Tkinter GUI.
Enter one or more user profiles, each with login credentials and up to three security-question answers.
Specify your desired appointment date window and polling interval.
2. Authentication & Navigation:
The bot spins up an undetectable Chrome session.
Logs into usvisascheduling.com, answers security questions when prompted, and navigates to the visa appointment calendar page.
3. Polling Loop:
At each interval, the bot refreshes the calendar.
Screenshots and OCR extract available dates.
If a match within your date range is found, it clicks “Book Appointment” immediately.
4. CAPTCHA Bypass:
When a CAPTCHA appears, the bot sends the challenge to 2Captcha via API.
Receives the solved token and injects it back into the page to continue booking.
5. Confirmation & Notification:
Upon success, captures a confirmation screenshot.
Saves booking details in the local database.
Optionally, triggers a desktop notification or email alert.
