Does this bot still work?
If it does, why am I getting this error?

I don't know what format the "twilioPhone" and "phone" in the settings.json file want.
I tried without the "+" and with "00" in front, but I'm not sure if the error comes from these fields.

I made this bot a year ago during summer break, right now I'm graduated and mostly focusing on work. I will soon try to find some time to test if the bot still works and update my code+documentation.

Unfortunately same error. Too bad, hoped i could use it!

This would be great! Keep us updated :)

It's caused by an incompatibility between a new urllib version and the chosen selenium version in requirements. See stackoverflow discussion.

While this error is easily fixed by bumping selenium, it will lead to other errors with new function naming from selenium's side. Fixing that (by replacing "find_element_by_xpath" in bot.py and search for english xpath instead of dutch one as TicketSwap changed the wording) will still not make it work as Ticketswap will let you run into human-user authentification within a few requests.

From there I'd assume you'll need to open new sessions continuously, throttle the time between requests or in the worst case switch IPs between requests. You can also no longer reserve a ticket without being logged in, so yeah things became more complicated in 2023.
