Script to check for Supermarket delivery slots?

Hi
Please don’t think is have an answer for this, i’m merely asking the question.
My elderly Mother lives alone and myself and my sister spend a lot of time trying to find slots available to get her shopping ordered and delivered to her which is obviously a cause for concern when nothing is available or we miss those that do become available so I was looking at the possibility of using Domoticz to help.
I have no scripting expertise and almost all the scrips I currently use are very simple lua or devised from those shared by people on this forum. However, I have, in the past, seen python scripts shared which search websites for local information and send alerts (lightning strikes, earthquakes etc), and wondered if anyone has devised something that could search supermarket websites and alert when a local delivery slot becomes available?

Shortest answer: maybe.

Bit longer one: you will need to provide quite some more info:
  • what supermarket (+link to it)?
  • for the supermarket(s), link to the available slots.
  • Does one have to be logged in before seeing the slots
  • If so, how does one authenticate?
Once you provide this info, we could check

Hi

Thanks for your reply

The store is Tesco : https://www.tesco.com/

You need to be registered and signed in with your username and password before you are able to see if there are any delivery slots available.
This is the link to the available slots I was looking for today but it seems this obviously changes. https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/s ... lotGroup=1
