In current shelter-in-place time, there are lot of families with at-risk family members who are avoiding going out. For them it is safer to order groceries online from sites like instacart, india cash and carry (regional store) or costco-sameday (white labeled version of instacart). However these sites are havily overbooked and it is hard to find a open delivery time slot. This script is written to help find open time slots on these sites. There are scripts - one for instacart ( https://www.instacart.com ) which delivers from several stores), one for India Cash and carry (https://www.indiacashandcarry.com/) and one for costco ( https://sameday.costco.com/store/costco/storefront) . You can choose to run one or all as per your need. You will need to have an account already at these sites (takes few minutes to register). These scripts areopen source so feel free to use as you deem fit (except for commercial purpose).
