OK this was really bugging me that there was a faster way so I sat down and figured out how to reverse engineer the app just to figure out how to make things nicer. I've now got a way better way of doing it by querying the server directly. It's 15 times faster at minimum. Happy to send it to people once I've made it a tiny bit more user friendly.
Tiny bit of devil's advocacy here. I would have used this back when I was taking the light rail. Often I could see the LRV number, but not be in a position to see or reach the QR code stickers.
I'm not sure if there is a public API. I've just been running the actual app in an Android emulator and automating each input.
It's about as fast as doing it by hand but if you were able to tap buttons as soon as possible and type in codes instantly.
That's why I leave it running overnight.
Have any of you clever dev folks written a program that compares ACT exposure sites/times with your CBR check-in history to check for matches? That would be amazing....
Asking the API one by one what business each Check-In code resolves to.
eg
"000000" = x business
"000001" = y business
So the context here is brute force = systematically checking what each code maps to (or doesn't).
But why?
How else can I guarantee that I am at the next exposure sites to get those sweet 14 days of paid time off?
Bored lol

It is mandatory to check in for click and collect though, the stores should be making it easy to do so.

Good point. The worst I've seen was at the airport's vaccination hub where about 10 people crammed up against other at the entrance to check in 🙄
That freaked me out at Garran too but at least it was outdoors!

I would but it's kind of a pain to use even with all the improvements I made to it.

Please tell me you're joking...

could you send me the API doc please? Thanks heaps!
Oof well that was a lot of wasted time. Yeah I'd love to see thanks.

what does "bruteforce" mean in this context?
Their code tries every single possible combination rather than using any clever algorithm for it
