I built a web scraper to notify you of cancellations at fully booked campsites in Yellowstone National Park

Pushover

On our way home from Glacier we'll be going through Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park. Unfortunately, Campnab doesn't (currently) work for most sites in Yellowstone, since they use a different booking provider than the rest of the National Park System. Instead, I decided to play around with the booking website and build my own integration with their API. It runs in a docker container, and sends push notifications through Pushover.

Campnab

To help us get an advantage in finding a site we signed up for Campnab, a service that lets you sign up for text notifications when booked out campgrounds receive cancellations. Long story short, it's totally worth it I have nothing but great things to say about it. We found a 5 day cancellation and booked our first choice campground within a couple weeks of signing up for text alerts.

FastAPI

If you ever decide to put a UI in front of it (for config/settings), FastAPI is all the rage these days for a back-end.
