OpenTable-Reservation-Maker

The code that corresponds with this blog post on writing a script to make reservations for me on opentable

Getting started

Python 3+ required

Install the dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Set up the environment variables (section below)

Change the variables in config.py

Run the file

python3 main.py

Usage

You must set up some environment variables first, and have some details about your OpenTable account beforehand.

Config

config.py has the required configuration. I haven't added setup

Monitoring

You can set up whatever preferred running solution you like. I set mine up with cron.

crontab -e

With an entry of

* * * * * /usr/bin/python3 /home/jonluca/opentable/main.py

You can set up your cron schedule how you'd like. I set mine up to check every minute, but you can use this tool to configure yours.

Todo

• Authentication endpoint so that you don't need to already have your bearer token and diner ID
• Restaurant search so that you don't need to already know the ID of the restaurant you're looking for
• Deletion endpoint (Not sure if this is useful? But maybe if this turns into an API)
• Date exclusions - make it so that you can exclude specific dates that don't work
• Support multiple restaurants being watched at the same time
• Support restaurants that require a credit card
