Scraping.

A friend with some serious restaurant money wanted to get into a restaurant that was sold out after 1 second. Every 3 months nee reservations came up and he clicked as fast as possible.

I got the job done with Selenium. He invited me to come along on the spot.

It was an amazing culinary experience!

I’ve got to second this, as I built a scraper with basic python for the exact same thing.

Over time I’ve used it for other sites and it needed only basic changes to get it to work.
