I would appreciate if someone can take this up and create a wiki like markdown document on how to use this extension and what the different fields in autofill form mean. I will add it to the project's wiki.

@sushrut111 Can I take this issue?

@sushrut111 Can I take this issue?

Yes sure. I will assign this to you.

@Shweta200126 Are you still on board?

@sushrut111 yup, I'm just gonna write it.

• Add the extension to the browser

• Sign in/register to cowin.gov.in website

The inputs are:

• Pin code: Write the 6 digit pin-code where you prefer to get vaccinated from.

• Name of the state: The state you want to get vaccinated in.

• District Name: The district's name where you want to get vaccinated from.

• Refresh interval (seconds): Write the number of seconds you want the page to refresh while you are logged-in. It only works if you have checked-Enable Auto Refresh.

• Comma separated center preferences: Write the names of your preferred centres for vaccination.

• Select only if number of available slots is more than: The booking will be only done if there are more than the number of slots you write. If left empty any center with minimum 1 available slot will be selected.

• Skip days: 0 skip days means search slots starting today. 1 skip days means search slots from tomorrow. Leave this empty to search slots including today.

• Select Filters: Select the ones you prefer to have in your search for vaccine:- -Age filter: 1 Age 18+ 2 Age 45+

  -Vaccine preferred: 3 Covishield 4 Covaxin 5 Sputnik *You can select multiple

  -Payment method of Vaccine 6 Free 7 Paid *You can select if you prefer any but if you don't select any, it gives both results.

• Attempt to book automatically: Select this one if you want the extension to book the first available slot which satisfies the center preference and that will be selected automatically.

• Enable Auto Refresh: Keeps refreshing the search results at an interval input in 'Refresh Interval' till a slot is found.

• Confirm booking automatically on captcha page: With this selected, you will NOT have to press Confirm button after captcha gets entered automatically.

You can fill the fields you deem necessary for you and click on save changes. The extension does the work itself after you click save changes to find the vaccine with your preferences.
