This is the kind of stuff where I tell people that coding can be a real practical skill (that gives you an unfair advantage these days).
I did something similar (read-only) for Home Depot Truck Rentals. To check if the truck was available at my local store, each time, you had to put in your zip code, and click a couple of times. Once I found that was an API, I rebuilt the call in Postman and kept hitting that endpoint until a truck was available.
That way I could check really fast.
The twist: None of it mattered because their data itself didn't update accurately (I saw one in the parking lot and they had one available and never updated their site). :)
