Jio Internet Balance Scraper
One fine day, I was decided. I had ENOUGH. Enough means enough of firing up the app and waiting it to login and go into a few menus to finally get what I was looking for. I’m talking about my daily internet balance. I was so fed up of the shit app, and I didn’t have the patience to see slow loading screens either. Solution to this laziness?(the koala signifies Laziness 😶)
Well, I thought of building a web-scraper that runs as a service in the back-end. Only problem? Its not public! You gotta enter the email, password, click login, open a div and that’s when you finally get the text to scrape. So how did I manage to get past these hurdles? I used selenium to automate the process of login and scraped the page after that. Here’s a video demo of what it looks like:
As always, the code is open source, available at the following link:

I’ll leave this token of laziness with something someone great once said :P
Hire me Microsoft! 😆 😆
I sincerely vow to be lazy today and forever after.
