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.
| Variable | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| BEARER_TOKEN | Your bearer token from an intercepted OpenTable network request | Yes |
| FROM_PHONE_NUMBER | The twilio number that will be sending the text notifications | |
| TO_PHONE_NUMBER | The phone number that text messages will go to, and that is associated with your opentable account | Yes |
| TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID | Twilio account SID | |
| TWILIO_ACCOUNT_TOKEN | Twilio account token | |
| OPENTABLE_GPID | Open table GID from a previous request | Yes |
| OPENTABLE_DINERID | Opentable diner id for your profile | Yes |
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
