A Bright Data Case Study
FindAShot.org, a community service project, was founded to help people find available COVID-19 vaccine appointments. The founder faced the challenge of manually checking thousands of different pharmacy websites, a process that was too slow as appointments were being booked within minutes. Bright Data's Web Unlocker was identified as a solution to overcome blocks that pharmacies had put in place to prevent automated access.
By integrating Bright Data's Web Unlocker, the automated appointment checkers were able to scale and operate reliably without being blocked. The solution was easy to implement and reduced infrastructure costs. Bright Data's service enabled FindAShot.org to efficiently aggregate appointment availability data, helping countless individuals get vaccinated by streamlining a process that would otherwise be impossibly time-consuming to do manually.
