How I earned £2000+ with a Python Selenium Script

[ SYSTEM LOG: 2024-05-12 ] When I was studying at the University of Nottingham, I noticed a huge demand for US visa interview slots. The official website was always fully booked, and students were struggling to find available dates. As a developer, I saw an opportunity to automate this. I wrote a Python script using Selenium to log in, monitor the availability, and send an alert the second a slot opened up. What started as a tool for myself quickly became a service for others. Within two weeks, I helped multiple students secure their slots and earned over £2000. Key Takeaways: 1. Automation is powerful. 2. Finding real-world problems is the best way to practice coding. 3. Always respect rate limits (I learned this the hard way!).
