booking-shift-webscraper

Jen

Jen is a Discord bot that collects web-scraped data from a booking shift webpage using Selenium.
This data is then transmitted as notifications detailing available shifts/booked days to a designated text channel on Discord.
The script offers flexibility through a set of boolean flags that allow the user to specifically choose their preferred settings.

Webscraped Website

This website operates on a first-come, first-served basis for booking shifts.
Reserved shifts can be canceled up to two days before the shift.
However, if a particular day and shift are fully booked and someone cancels, the newly available shift isn't automatically made known to everyone.
