I do the same, I think is the only way for keep the checking stable.

Any luck with the throttling? I've built a similar app on my side and getting the same issue, empty array after 48 requests. Then light ban for 5 hours

Do you know the period that 48 requests limit? Like 48 request within 1 hour?

I tried 5 locations every 10 minutes, also getting empty array after 4 hours. I'm not sure what the criteria is

sg957 commented Jun 15, 2022

Yes after getting the first empty array, I sleep for 1 hour until the next non-empty array (then it's back to checking every 5 minutes). But it still takes 5 hours to reset

I have a solution for that

Hello, I tested it with the Colombia country code, I had an error with the get_time method but I fixed, I have not yet been able to test the reschedule method, there aren't available days, but I have a question, Does this code contemplates the scheduling of the consular appointment and the appointment of the ASC? I

Hey dresansol, did you figure out how to reschedule the ASC appointment? I haven't been able to do so :(

Guys, has anyone found out a way to deal with the throttling/ban?

Hey dresansol, did you figure out how to reschedule the ASC appointment? I haven't been able to do so :(

Here there is a repo with ASC appointment: https://github.com/Narias1999/visabot
Also, there is a repo with the original gist, here: https://github.com/uxDaniel/visa_rescheduler

The appointment, ASC and consular, should be scheduled with the UI because the post request doesn’t work. You have to write a js code for click on each list box and set the dates

I see that many people write here about the problem, so I will write here some points that will lead to a solution
In order to monitor the available dates, it is recommended to use accounts that have already had an interview meeting, even accounts that have already had an interview show available dates, if the account no longer shows available dates move to the next account, you need several accounts for this to monitor the dates,
The monitoring should be done in a separate window of the browser, and the central account for which you want to make an appointment in a separate window, if a queue is found, of course, continue the script in the window of the central account.
In addition, queues enter the system (except for very unusual cases) only during a round minute, for example 20:00 20:05 20:10 and so on... the mechanism that searches for available queues should only be activated during these minutes.
Someone needs to update the code here according to this data

Thanks for your code. It helps a lot.

Has anyone adjusted the code according to the data I wrote down?

@dresansol

Are you sure this was the reason? I've been executing my code for some friends and coincidentally they have been denied, but they have never told them anything related to the rescheduling process

Just wanted to come by and let you guys know that I had my visa cancelled last week by the US embassy, for running this script on my own, which apparently violates the Terms of use of the ais website.
Not sure how the heck they found out. I feel so miserable. Not worth it, mate. Good luck to y'all.

Was this canceled at the embassy before being approved or after it was approved some time after?

hey guys, anyone has an idea about their rate limiting policy? I got 5 hour-bans twice and I dont want to risk it again. What is the optimal frequency and break-time to overcome this? Thanks in advance
