Good to know

• Only one appointment can be booked per email and phone number.
• Both passport & national identity card can be renewed in one appointment, both options can therefore be set to true.
• Searching for appointment for more than one person at a time requires a longer appointment time and are thus harder to find.
• A maximum of 8 people can be booked in one appointment

Proxy feature information

When setting the useProxies option to true you are expected to provide a list of proxies to use, the application expects a file named proxies.txt to be present in the same directory as the application. This file should include one proxy per line, the proxy should be in the format [IP]:[PORT].

Example

0.0.0.0:6969
1.1.1.1:9999
2.2.2.2:420

This feature does currently only support HTTP/HTTPS proxies.

The application will cycle through the proxies in the list and will retry the request if the proxy is not responding, if a request times out multiple times with the same proxy, the application will switch to the next proxy in the list.
The thresholds for this behaviour can be configured through the proxyTimeout and proxyRetries configuration options.

For the best results use a list of high quality proxies.
