Develop an Automatic Booking Bot for Recreation.gov

I am an avid rafter/boater and I am interested in picking up cancelled river permits on recreation.gov. These permits are difficult to obtain and are normally issued via a lottery system in February. However, many permit lottery winners are unable to use their permit and therefore cancel their trip at some point before the trip date. When this occurs, the permit launch date becomes available to book on [login to view URL] and the date changes from R (Reserved) or possibly now L (Lottery) to A (Available). Normally, it requires constant refreshing of the site to detect these cancellations as there is no notification. I am looking to develop an application or bot that monitors [login to view URL] and at a minimum send an alert (email and/or SMS) to me when a cancellation occurs and a permit becomes available during specific date ranges. The next step/phase would be to automatically book the reservation when it becomes available. I would prefer to be able to enter into a website what rivers and what dates to monitor. [login to view URL] has an API into its database, details can be found here: [login to view URL]
