Working of Bot
How it Works
- Data for upto 7 days is extracted from an API.
- Iterating over data to check for available vaccine doses.
- If any dose available then a message is sent via Telegram API to a specific channel.
- The particular data which has been sent to telegram is cached for 1 hour to prevent multiple notifications.
- Data from API is updated every 4 seconds.
