I have created the chrome plugin. It will search for the vaccine using the Cowin API in the backend. There are two ways a search can be performed
- By District
- By Pincode Other common parameters are
- Dose 1 or 2
- Start Date to search
- Number of dates from the start date to search
- Vaccine Type(COVISHIELD, COVAXIN)
- Age (18+ or 45+)
##By District More than one District can be selected from the dropdown.
Once the information is provided. The extension will query in the backend after every X interval for checking the vaccine chosen type. Once there is a vaccine available. It will send a chrome-based notification with the information of the pin code, address, number of doses, date of availability, etc. Upon clicking on the notification, it will redirect you to the cowin page.
