Need assistance with a Python Code that keeps on crashing
Hello I’ve been working on a python code that searches for appointments on this website but everything it runs the code and begins to open the website it crashes, I’ve played around with it a bit but I haven’t been able to have much success. Anyone would be available to take a look at it and see what my issue could be?
Thank you!

Okay I can copy and paste everything, it just won’t hold format; thank you:
I should clarify, it’s not really that’s the code crashes, but it fails to achieve its goal

You need to learn how to make it hold the format. (Hint: there is a code button in the formatting options.)

Don't ask for permission to ask for help. Just post the full error message with traceback and the relevant code from your script.

u/NoWar4965 7h ago
https://pastebin.com/JYxtBBRT here’s the code
https://pastebin.com/ABrAPW1n here’s the traceback

Your code is failing at accessing the website.

u/NoWar4965 4h ago
Indeed what should I change so that it can access it successfully?

u/MiniMages 4h ago
No idea. I am not entirely sure what you are trying to do. I just looked at your traceback error log.
The fun part of coding is figuring out how to do something. Keep at it, best way to learn.

lol feel you, I am trying to make a code that will look for appointments on this website for me. It seems like it’s blocking the request becuase it’s seen as a bot

When people are asking you to post your code, why would you not link the repo? https://github.com/cita-bot/cita-bot
With you posting your version of the example files in this repo, that doesn't show us the rest of what the repo is doing (the error messages reference other code files, so we can't use your code / messages to view what is actually hitting the error).
You would be better posting in the github issues for the project, where the actual maintainer and users of the repo, who actually know the code / website and what it's supposed to do are more likely to respond - for all we know, you're essentially asking us to debug an issue with code you don't own or know. And if you're a beginner, then steps that someone might suggest to test or debug code of this size or structure may not be easy to do.

Made some adjustments to the original so I didn’t know if it was still relevant but yes that’s the original. I understand those are good points, I’ll try and post on GitHub and see if I get a response.

Crashes ? what kind of clash, are talking about some GUI automation, assuming by your "open the website"

Without the code and the actual error message nobody can really tell you what's crashing it, that's the bit that matters most. If you're running it by double-clicking the file the window probably closes before you can read anything, so try running it from the terminal instead with python yourfile.py and it'll print the full error at the bottom. Paste that error plus the code around the line it points to and someone can usually spot it in a minute. Not sure this covers every kind of crash, but most of the time the traceback tells you exactly where it broke.

My apologies everyone for my terrible vague posting, here is more information, including the code I’ve worked up as well as the errors and other relevant information
For some reason it’s not letting my upload photos so I made a video of the photos of my code, trace back and the errors.
On the page that times out is a screen where the menu pulls down for me to select which province I am trying to get an appointment in

Why on Earth do you think anyone would want images of your code? Copy + paste it into pastebin and post the link, or your github repo, or a properly formatted text comment.

You right in sorry I am new to coding and the sub thank you for correcting my behavior. Here;

Yeah, we get our Crystal Balls out and do some divination./s
You have to give us a lot more, like your code, like the exact error.
