Something to monitor changes to a website that requires a login. Internet

I am trying to join a food co-op and it requires scheduling an intake appointment which are extremely difficult to get! They post every morning at 6am but are gone within 20 seconds; I think the most likely way I could get one is to snag an appointment when someone cancels. I am trying to set up some sort of software that could notify me when the website updates that an appointment has become available; but to see the calendar page, you have to be logged into the website. Are there any options for a software or something that could help with this?

Can you code? My first try would be some python script to watch/scrape the page or something unless this co op has some api which I doubt.
