# Fetching train availability in IRCTC

### Problem

When you search for trains in [irctc](https://www.irctc.co.in) page, it never shows the seat availability directly. You'll have to manually go and click the refresh button of every listed train

### Steps to fix

1. Search for trains in <https://www.irctc.co.in>
2. Apply filters to narrow down the list of trains

3. Paste the following script in console to get the availability status of all trains at once

```javascript
document.querySelectorAll('.fa.fa-repeat').forEach(el=>el.click())
```

4. The end. Tada!

### Note:

Ensure that you always try this out after narrowing down the list using filters. Else it'll be too many requests going on at once.
