!!Con West 2020: Jessica Garson - How I solved my NYC parking problem with Python!

Presented at !!Con West 2020: http://bangbangcon.com/west Since I have a car in New York City, my car is subject to the city’s alternate-side-of-the-street parking regulations. This means most nights I need to move my car before the early morning street cleaning that happens in my neighborhood. I had developed a nightly routine around moving my car before I go to bed. I am sometimes a bit too good at this, and I often move my car on days I don’t need to. Since alternate-side-of-the-street parking is often canceled on holidays or days where there is bad weather, there is a Twitter account, @NYCASP, which posts daily and whenever there is an emergency situation. I used Python, Twilio and the Twitter API to solve this problem for myself so I get a text message whenever I don’t need to move my car. #bangbangcon #bangbangconwest #bangbangconwest2020
