Resy-API

This is an attempt at creating a javascript client for Resy. The code from Resy's homepage is in the src/minifiedSourceCode - it's more feature full and has more routes than my client, but is a bit harder to read because it's been minified.

The src/controllers has the cleaner code that's meant for more programmatic use.

Usage

You must first set up your environment variables. These need to be

RESY_EMAIL
RESY_PASSWORD

Optionally, if you'd like text message notifications, you can also set the following twilio variables.

TO_NUMBER
TWILIO_AUTH
TWILIO_NUMBER
TWILIO_SID

Data storage

Resy API uses lowdb, a small JSON db, to store its information. You can either call it programatically or you can create a file called db.json in the same directory as this README with the following template:

{
  "venues": [
    {
      "name": "Cote",
      "id": 35676,
      "notified": false,
      "minTime": "17:00",
      "preferredTime": "19:30",
      "maxTime": "22:00",
      "shouldBook": true,
      "partySize": 2,
      "allowedDates": ["2022-06-07", "2022-06-08"]
    }
  ]
}

You can find the ID of the venue by searching for it on Resy in Chrome and finding one of the network requests with venue_id as the URL param and using that, or by searching for it programatically using the ResyService search function.

Monitoring

You can run yarn monitor to run the monitoring. This will check every 5 minutes.

ToDo

It would be nice to add a UI on top of this, or maybe even make it a service so non-technical people could use it.
