CSB Door Opener

This is a Flask application that uses Selenium to automate the process of opening a door at Chalmers studentbostäder. It exposes a single API endpoint /open that triggers the door opening process when a GET request is made. It creates a headless browser which executes the same steps as a user would have to do to open a door.
