Trusted Traveler Scheduler

This script will automatically fetch new appointment dates/times for the configured location(s) from the Trusted Traveler Program API. You can use this to schedule Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, or FAST appointments, provided the enrollment center you have configured offers the service.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+
• Pip

1. First download the script to your machine and enter into the resulting directory:

git clone https://github.com/everettsouthwick/trusted-traveler-scheduler.git
cd trusted-traveler-scheduler

2. Then install the required packages to run the script:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

To use the script, run the following command:

python ttp.py [-d CURRENT_APPOINTMENT_DATE] [-l LOCATION_IDS] [-n NOTIFICATION_LEVEL] 
    [-u NOTIFICATION_URLS] [-r RETRIEVAL_INTERVAL] [-s START_APPOINTMENT_TIME] 
    [-e END_APPOINTMENT_TIME]

All of the arguments are optional, and will take precedence over the values supplied in config.json, with the exception of location_ids and notification_urls which will merge the values into a single list.

For example, the following command would retrieve appointments before December 31, 2023 for locations 5004 and 5140 and send notifications to the two Discord URLs every 5 minutes if the appointment time is between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM:

python ttp.py -d "December 31, 2023" -l 5004,5140 -n 1 
    -u discord://id/token,discord://id/token -r 5m -s 08:00
    -e 20:00

For complete documentation, you can use the following command:

python ttp.py -h

Docker

Pulling the image

The script can be configured to run in Docker. You can pull the latest container image from the Docker repository by running the following command:

docker pull ecsouthwick/trusted-traveler-scheduler

To pull the develop branch from the Docker repository, add the :develop tag to the above command:

docker pull ecsouthwick/trusted-traveler-scheduler:develop

Running the Container

Once you have pulled the image from docker, you may use the following command to run the container:

docker run -d ecsouthwick/trusted-traveler-scheduler [-d CURRENT_APPOINTMENT_DATE] [-l LOCATION_IDS] 
    [-n NOTIFICATION_LEVEL] [-u NOTIFICATION_URLS] [-r RETRIEVAL_INTERVAL] [-s START_APPOINTMENT_TIME] 
    [-e END_APPOINTMENT_TIME]

Optionally, you may attach your config.json file to the container to utilize your configuration settings.

docker run -d --name ttp --volume /path/to/config.json:/app/config.json ecsouthwick/trusted-traveler-scheduler

Note: The recommended restart policy for the container is on-failed or no.

Configuration

1. Copy config.example.json to config.json.
2. See CONFIGURATION.md for detailed instructions on setting up config.json.
