Terminwatcher-Leipzig

A Python script that automatically monitors the availability of appointments at the online Kfz-Zulassungsbehörde appointment booking system of the Stadt Leipzig and notifies you when free appointments become available. Given how difficult it is to obtain an appointment in time through conventional means, this tool helps you catch available slots as soon as they open up.
