This is the code for a personal project that converts incoming data to automotive CAN protocols to use generic software to monitor compliant applications.

An application that queries multiple third-party web sources with search criteria that is limited by the third party. After retrieving a collection of vehicles that meet the basic search, a further search using the VIN to pull dealer-specific build sheets. These can come in various formats, such as JSON or PDF. The data is filtered through a PDF processor, where I can search for more detailed information about a vehicle that does not show up in other searches.

I have used this multiple times for myself and others to help find particular vehicles, which often leads to cross-country acquisitions.

This also includes an easy-to-use function to request specific data just by VIN. I have publicly given out this endpoint. Currently limited to one type and one data point, but I am looking to expand.

In the world of RV reservations, some RV parks are almost impossible to book. They book months in advance, sometimes over a year in advance. Thousands of people know when these spots get a reserve release, and they are all trying simultaneously. I have yet to be able to get one.

I developed a tool to notify me quickly of a cancellation. Since nobody knows when the cancellation will happen, you have to get these when they happen. At some places, these cancellations will be gone within 30 seconds, so you have to act quickly.

I am currently working on integrating with a chat system because I have found out that text messages will sometimes delay.
