政府限制访问实时数据疫苗槽上可用的CoWin集中技术门户。
这之后发现,一些技术专家写了代码(读脚本)利用门户的关于开放槽提供警报的透明度。
脚本启用这些软件程序员书疫苗槽比访问网站的人在他们的笔记本电脑或智能手机。
“任命可用性数据缓存和可能30分钟,“政府的节点代理API是以周三在一份报告中称,开发商。
CoWin门户使用开放应用程序编程接口(api)——一个工具,允许两个软件程序相互交流和分享信息。
api公开这样私立医院就可以将它们集成到他们的系统以促进更快的疫苗接种,一位政府官员告诉等。
由于印度打开了接种疫苗的年龄在18岁及以上从5月1日,有一个巨大的冲向疫苗在持续的第二Covid-19波和短缺加剧了这种情况。
虽然大多数公民参观CoWin网站找到槽剂疫苗,一些软件程序员发现一个简单的方法写一个ping api的代码找到开槽在疫苗接种中心和通过短信发送警报或信使组。
他们也打开网站或电报渠道向用户发送警报寻找疫苗接种槽,导致数以百计的槽被预定在几分钟。
政府还限制。
“进一步,这些API的速率限制每5分钟/ IP 100 API调用,“API是以说。
政府官员说没有自动预订通过机器人或脚本的可能性以来预订只能通过CoWin门户和要求进行一次性密码被发送到用户的手机。
“即使是机器人建立在MyGov WhatsApp号码让你知道槽可用性,但系统不让你运行多个api;有限制,”这位官员说。
如果政府允许未经预约而来的疫苗,它将导致过度拥挤,从而增加感染的传播,他补充说。

The government has restricted access to real-time data on vaccine<\/a> slots available on its CoWin<\/a> centralised technology portal.
This came after it found that some technology professionals had written codes<\/a> (read scripts<\/a>) to exploit the portal\u2019s transparency in providing alerts about open slots.
The scripts had enabled these software programmers to book the vaccine slots quicker than people who accessed the website on their laptops or smartphones.

<\/div><\/div>\u201cThe appointment availability data is cached and may be up to 30 minutes old,\" the government\u2019s nodal agency API<\/a> Setu said in a note to developers on Wednesday.
The CoWin portal uses open Application Programming Interface (APIs) - a tool that allows two software programmes to talk to each other and share information.
The APIs were made public so that private hospitals could integrate them into their systems to facilitate faster vaccination, a government official told ET.
Since India opened up vaccinations for those aged 18 and above from May 1, there has been a huge rush for vaccines amid the ongoing second Covid-19 wave and a shortage has aggravated the situation.
While most citizens have been visiting the CoWin website to find slots for their vaccine doses, a few software programmers have found an easy way of writing a code that pings the APIs to find open slots in vaccination centres and send alerts via SMS or on messenger groups.
They have also opened websites or Telegram<\/a> channels to send alerts to users looking for vaccination slots, resulting in hundreds of slots being booked in just minutes.
The government has also imposed restrictions on this.
\u201cFurther, these APIs are subject to a rate limit of 100 API calls per 5 minutes per IP,\u201d API Setu said.

<\/div><\/div>The government official said there is no possibility of automated bookings through bots or scripts since bookings can take place only through the CoWin portal and requires a One-Time Password to be sent to a user\u2019s mobile phone.
\u201cEven the bot built on the MyGov WhatsApp number lets you know about the slot availability, but the system doesn\u2019t let you run multiple APIs; there are limits on that,\u201d the official said.
If the government allows walk-in vaccinations, it will lead to overcrowding and thereby increase the spread of the infections, he added.
