Yes with v10.2 |
|
Since the site updated a day or so ago to show the full palette of months and the X through unavailable ones, the auto refresh is not working. Prior to that I would get two kinds of things happening:
It typically has been generating about four to six alerts per day on a 5 second poll when it was working No alerts have resulted in a successful booking. |
|
@mjt128 You may have missed it but we released 0.10.3 last night to update for the new miq calendar. |
|
Thanks Alex. Have there been updates to the initial 0.10.3 as the next button is not working with the 10.3 version I downloaded. |
|
@Saj22 There has not, I am thinking we will need to stop trying to automatically select the date in the calendar. |
|
Thanks!

I've been alerted but still too slow for the bots out there. Seems like they are working outside of theb5 second refreshes and beating us to it. |
|
my sister and I have been trying for about 5 days now and haven't managed to secure a spot using this tool. We're pretty desperate and have been trying non stop but have never managed to be fast enough. |
|
I just mentioned this in #105 but relevant here too: I’ve had no success with the page responding to my clicks after any alerts so I tried creating a second MIQ login to have one booking window open without the script and another window open with the script so that I could hear the alert from the script window, click manual refresh on the non-script window and then click date/not-robot/next on the non-script window… BUT weirdly the non-script window wasn’t showing any available dates even when the script window had the alert sounding. Not sure if this signals an issue with MIQ or script…? |
|
There have been so few openings today that I haven't gotten an alert yet on a date that would work for me (using v10.3). Using v10.2 I got a few alerts but I was never fast enough. One of the things I really like about this tool is its ability to alert only on specific dates (or months) so I can focus only on dates that will work and not be distracted by all the others (Thank you Alex and Jeremias!) |
|
This is the issue I see - none of us are fast enough. There must be bots
out there quicker if no-one has managed to get a booking. I managed to get
two bookings manually but both on a Sunday (no flights). Sunday dates seem
to become available a lot and easier to book - I guess because for most
people they cannot get to NZ on a Sunday.

Same here, haven't been fast enough. To be fair, I only installed it yesterday (just to realise the site change broke the script), have had 3 alerts got off so far with me actively being on my laptop and did not manage to secure any. The bots are definitely beating us to it! |

Not to put you off but I having been trying for 3 weeks with no success!

I'm not losing hope, I'm just happy there is even a chance to actually secure a booking with this tool. Just gotta keep trying, hopefully we should be able to secure vouchers when they release the remaining slots for Sept, Oct & Nov. 🤞 |
Hi Alex, thanks for all your efforts. Unfortunately, I've been trying since 18 July and have had zero luck getting a spot yet with any of the releases. |
|
Just got one. Thank you so much for this - I would never have achieved it without your help! Good luck everyone else (sorry to those I beat to the punch) - but there is hope out there!!!!! |
|
Awesome! Thanks for the update. Did you have to click on the date first
or only on the recaptcha and next? Was it the 18th Aug? I just missed
that date!

Just recaptcha and next. It was the 18th of Aug. Sorry :( At least you have 1 less person to compete with now! Good Luck! |
|
Well that's good news knowing the script works! We were all wondering
about that.
|
|
BTW I see it is possible to make a donation to this site. Once (positive
here) I get my booking I will definitely be saying thank you!!! Holding
thumbs

@DenimChickenNZ Thanks for sharing how it worked for you and what you clicked - definitely helpful to know! |
|
I will also add that I had my cursor in the position the recapcha box would move to once the refresh and scroll happened. And I clicked next as soon as i saw the tick come up |
|
👍 |
|
I just want to say thank you to Alex, Jeremias and everyone else who has contributed to making this script. Although I haven't managed to snag a date yet, I'm certainly get way closer than when I was relying on email updates from miq4u |
Could you perhaps zoom out on your browser? I think its mousewheel down (like you use to scroll down) while holding control |
|
Thanks will give these a try!

Managed to book a place yesterday with the tool - running macOS with no mouse automator, I was just on the page as it refreshed and managed to hit the check box and next. Unfortunately the date was too close, so I had to let it go, but at least I proved (to myself!) that it was possible to get something. I did try the Mac mouse automator mentioned above, but while I could map the correct actions, I can't get it to check check the recaptcha check box, despite the action being a left click. |

Nice! Thanks for the update. Gives us hope.

name it cannot be swapped or changed.

Sorry just to clarify because the other post is no longer here. Spots are not ttransferable. Please don't book and hold slots you cant use yourself... just release/cancel once you realize flights etc dont work...
Holding on to a slot you cant use just causes someone who can use it to miss out.
You cant swap slots with someone else... if you could, the Scalpers would be even more vicious;)
Please be considerate! Use the tools responsibly...and hopefully we all get through this .

Since released bookings seem to go back into the pool almost immediately,
and "winning" is strongly influenced by being lucky enough to be one of the
first to see the booking appear (basically if it appeared for someone else
half a second after you polled, and you are on a 5 sec polling loop you
already lost the race) I'm sure the bot based booking for hire people have
figured out they can snarf up as many slots as they can under various fake
accounts then when they get a customer for the date release it and try to
immediately re-acquire under another account. They wouldn't be able to be
sure they'd get it but could very much increase their odds of being first
by knowing one is about to appear and having a nice pool of pre collected
bookings to release. Then being on an as fast as possible refresh loop just
after they did release one would very much help them catch it for other
people.

The only choices you have after managing to get a booking are to either cancel the booking, or put in the flight details (or wait 48 hours and it'll cancel automatically). There is no option to change passenger details after you've gotten a booking. You could try and contact MIQ directly about changing passenger details, but unless it's a minor detail (e.g. adding a middle name), I wouldn't expect much help, and the booking is going to get released after 48 hours anyways. |

@mark-bloom @alexDrinkwater Hey Mark, Alex thanks for the notes listed above! Super helpful and gives me some hope. I am currently running NPM START with the edits that @mark-bloom placed in and it seems to work, but the only thing is when the window gets an available date but its full, the script stops running and/or refreshes. Is there anyway to get it to auto refresh or restart again ? |

Forgot to mention that I changed from F8 to space bar because it is easier to reach and set the sleep to 50 as below. Initially I had it at 100 but found it too slow. space:: |

@Saj22 good stuff mate thats awesome to hear! I'm still in the hunt here will get there one day the dates that I want no Sundays etc aren't really opening up. Thanks for the AHK tip. |

ReCaptcha is better if you use the automation, have the F8 key trigger
when the helper detects a spot.... I noticed a few things really upset
ReCaptcha, namely messing up your 1st ReCaptcha when you log in, or too
many page refreshes, basically the lowest number I got was ~4.3 seconds,
any less meant running into auto logout from MIQ or ReCaptcha coming up a
lot.
Dialing back the interval a bit with the refreshes seems to keep both
happy, the optimal number depends on your connection and the individual
characteristics of your computer... but this is a good starting point.

Hi Guys
I finally got a booking! If all goes well I will be in NZ next week. I
would like to thank everyone who contributed to this, particularly
@jvolker <https://github.com/jvolker>, @mark-bloom
<https://github.com/mark-bloom>, @mouarg <https://github.com/mouarg> and
TigaNZ. I was not actually using the script at the time because I was
having so many challenges with the recaptcha. So I decided to try using the
autohotkey (really appreciate TigaNZ making this easy for me) and the mouse
to click on available dates. By some stroke of luck I got a booking - I am
so stoked! I will definitely be making a donation for all the effort put in
here. I am not done yet though. I have friends I will be assisting to try
and help them get a slot. I will still be looking into how to reduce the
excessive recaptcha images I got this week. But first I need a few days off
from the trauma of recaptcha and the whole evil MIQ game. Good luck to all.
I hope you find your way home....

I dont know the individual situation but consider that Sundays could be
viable if you are willing to fly into CHCH or Auckland... maybe via
Singapore or whatever... once you are done isolating you can always fly
domestically, or drive and take a ferry...
Im on Day 3 in MIQ in Chch, glad to be home, still can't wait to get out of
here and resume life/normalcy.

I'm using the automation, the F8 key and refresh at 5s. When it detects a date it seems to alarm quite a few times before the F8 button is triggered and the captcha and the next button are clicked. Probably around 4 or 5 beeps from the alarm. I come close (I get the "accommodation" page probably every 8/10 attempts), but I have never secured a room. I changed the sleep to 50 like Saj22 suggested and then next button to 250. Should i consider changing anything else? |
|
@TigaNZ Just checking for future reference - are you suggesting that keeping the F8 key is better than changing it anything else? I did notice a lot more Recaptchas - is that because I made the change? I really think today was probably just one of those lucky beat the bots episodes. @kimmered1234 I was with a friend today also trying to get a booking for him and a lot of dates came up for Aug and Sept. The alarm did continue for quite a few beeps and refreshes - so I am not sure if there is a script error with the restart search or if there were maybe a few rooms available on the same date and MIQ were releasing them all at the same time. Possibly once one was booked another for the same date was available immediately? I have spent 6 weeks trying to get a booking and yesterday and today was the first time I have seen so many rooms become available. I kept my refreshes at 5s. One thing that seemed to make a difference to me for the Recaptchas (although I have read a lot that says it does not make a difference) was using a paid for VPN. However the last two days the Recaptchas were only pictures rather than a tick so makes me think MIQ are changing things??? But I don't know that much about how all this works. I am hoping for a better future for all of us. Good luck and never give up. |

No, the key assignment shouldn't matter. I had put it on something closer
as well because hitting it manually was easier with a closer key, more or
less the same as you.
What I'm suggesting is missing those 1st recaptchas when you 1st login,
even though they are often stupidly wrong... sets you up to get more on the
appointment page...which will sabotage an opportunity.
point being, take extreme care on the login ReCaptcha...and if it tosses
you a second puzzle, assume its because it didn't like the first.... take
note of what ones you have problems with. The ones I remember being bad,
pedestrian crossings (they often only count foreground...not background...)
Bicycles (apparently sometimes a motorcycle is a bicycle but not always)
Traffic Lights (lol good luck if there are multiple in foreground &
background)
My observation is Google apparently hired a bunch of unobservant stoners
with bad eyesight to calibrate their ReCaptchas.
So often if you ignore scanning the entire picture and just do the obvious,
easy ones... you'll get it right.
Scan every pixel and click that pedestrian crossing wayyy can in
background... oops the stones mostly didn't notice it, so the fact you
did... makes you wrong.
As you can probably guess... I hated ReCaptcha.... I adopted the approach
if it reloads, I was wrong... and remembered the ones I got "wrong". The
next time I saw them... id go for the "visually challenged stoner"
approach... only click the obvious ones... and very often get it "right"
even though I was clearly wrong
That said... adopting the cautious approach eliminated fails that were my
fault and 1st time login, correct ReCaptcha... seemed to basically
eliminate the instances of checkbox puzzles.
It seems to remember failed attempts for a while, then resets every so
often...
Terrible system, mainly because its inaccurate so many times.

@TigaNZ "Visually challenged stoner..." you are so right, haha! |
|
@TigaNZ Thanks for all the info! Did my donation, had a two day break and now back online to assist my friend with his booking. Input from all has really helped. |
Hi TigaNZ thanks for all your input, it's slowly coming together for me (I think). Not a computer programmer or coder, but have some knowledge of excel routines. I guess this next question is for anyone really: I was just testing the F8 AutoHotKey script after running the 'npm start' version with the manual date inputs to the miq-assistance.js script (although I am assuming it is the same for the exe version?) and came across an issue that because the main script run from the cmd window keeps refreshing the MIQ page every 5s (or whatever interval you selected), if you haven't completed the Catchpa on the "Secure Allocation" page within 5 seconds, you miss out actually being able to click next as the Catchpa disappears (i.e. you will lose the spot). Is there some way of getting the script to stop doing the 5s refresh after you get a date hit that matches the dates you put in the miq-assistance.js script? Apologies if it does work like that , I am just unable to test it on actual dates as they come up so seldom. Separately, a suggestion: I was also wondering if it were possible to add a wee function to randomize the fixed refresh interval between an upper and lower limit so it was not always "exactly" 5s; e.g. if you set 4 and 6 seconds as these U/L bounds and it will (using some random generator), generate a number from 0 to 2 (to 2 sig figs e.g. 0.1, 1.5, 0.8) so that the refresh becomes slightly more random i.e. for those examples, 4.1, 5.5, 4.8 seconds) etc. Just a thought. ta k. |

Closing this as the conversation has diverged from the original topic. Please start new and separate issues with dedicated topics. Thanks. |
and others
With all the recent updates to the MIQ website. Let us know if you have been able to reserve a date while using the booking assistance tool.
