parks

A lightweight data pipeline that sends email notifications to subscribers whenever a reservation opens up at their favorite Glacier National Park backcountry campsite. The pipeline is orchestrated by a Makefile that is setup to run automatically as a Github Action.

Scripts overview

1. Manually add new subscribers with backcountry/add_user.py, passing arguments with their preferred campsites and dates.
2. backcountry/get_backcountry_sites.py gets a list of valid campsites and dumps it into a file.
3. backcountry/get_site_availability.py downloads the availability of each campsite.
4. backcountry/subscriptions.py checks to see if any of the subscribers' chosen campsites have a reservation opening on their preferred dates.
5. backcountry/notify.py notifies subscribers if there was an opening.
