When you run, your mobile/whatsapp will become the host for sending/receiving data with [91MobileNumber].

• On your mobile phone, launch whatsapp and send a "subscribe" message to yourself or ask your friend to send a "subscribe" message to your number. (The same number with which you've logged in into whatsapp-bot)

• Every API call is automated for CoWIN.

• OTP is sent to your mobile <91MobileNumber>. Enter it in whatsapp when prompted or follow the instructions below to automatically have it entered.

• CAPTCHA will be sent on whatsapp itself. Enter CAPTCHA to proceed for appointment if not autodetected. In 95% of the cases, CAPTCHA will be autodetected and entered.

Entire transaction can be finished in : time taken for OTP + time taken for CAPTCHA (if not detected automatically).
