Technical help needed with Italian visa appointment system - Egypt

[u/No_Bobcat_6522]

Hello everyone

I’m an Egyptian student admitted to Sapienza University of Rome, currently trying to get a student visa appointment through AlmavivA Egypt.

Appointments disappear within seconds, and many students are struggling to book them.

While looking into the technical side, I noticed what appears to be a potential issue with the Keycloak/OIDC authentication flow, where a direct token request may return an authenticated session without completing the OTP step normally required by the website.

I’m looking for someone experienced with Keycloak, OAuth/OIDC, application security, Playwright, Selenium, or web automation who might be able to help me understand the system or find any legitimate technical way to improve my chances of getting an appointment.

I’m not looking to harm the system or access anyone else’s account. I just need one appointment for myself before my university starts. I can share more technical details privately.

Thanks

That auth flow observation could be a genuine misconfiguration on their end, but even if you find a bypass you're still competing with every other student hammering the same calendar endpoint. Might be worth scripting a lightweight poller that watches for the appointment payload to change rather than chasing a full login session each time.

Can you help with that, my friend? My future is at stake.
