Going To Camp support about camply HOT 5 CLOSED

I looked into it briefly. I think this will work trivially without much code change. Changes needed are:

1. Add a user agent that looks like a real browser. The reservation site is serving up a captcha instead of the necessary JSON results. I used the agent served by my browser (firefox), and it allowed my curl request with correct results.
2. A RecreationArea entry with their domain (midnrreservations.com) needs to be added to the recreation area list: https://github.com/juftin/camply/pull/170/files#diff-27cb2d1da317d1840aeb797e9a89748b2fd5bf43e193de78b9821216b342825dR24

From my original post:

Other Going to Camp providers may be possible, but it looks like they use some sort of self-hosted solution that makes the API more difficult to work with (and sometimes blocked because javascript is not active, or an unacceptable browser UA is in use).

This is probably true for many or all recreation areas. It's possible that the self-hosted version of going to camp blocks non-standard UAs by default.

Yep at a glance, you did step (2.) above correctly. Although (1.) still needs to be done. If you open up a separate Github issue to add Michigan add support for the as many of the remaining GoingToCamp rec areas as possible, I can get that part done relatively soon.

What would it take to get the https://midnrreservations.com/ site working with this also? Looks like they are using the self-hosted solution of Going to Camp / Camis solution as you described.

@SoccerCore11 Good question to which I don't know the answer. GoingToCamp support is coming in the 0.8.0 camply release and I haven't looked into adding the self-hosted versions of camply.

It takes a fair amount of effort to reverse engineer the URL structure of the API, so I don't expect to look into it in the near future. However, I do imagine it's doable.

Does 'camply/config/api_config.py' provide a list of user agents to use / try?
I created a new pull request: #176
Not a dev, so I hope I'm doing this right...
