Find and extract data from JSON

Configuration
21

If will fail because the for-loop will attempt to access a list item that doesn’t exist.

You can use the count or length filter to get the number of items in a list.

value_json.result.records | count

Thanks @vingerha and @123… busy at work this week, so will do some testing on the weekend. Appreciate all the effort and assistance!

If you’re interested, you can reduce the template to this:

rest:
  - authentication: basic
    scan_interval: 3600
    verify_ssl: false
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json
      User-Agent: Home Assistant
      Accept-Encoding: identity
    resource: "https://www.data.brisbane.qld.gov.au/data/api/3/action/datastore_search?resource_id=c6dbb0b3-1e00-4bb8-8776-aa1b8f1ecfaa"
    sensor:
      - name: GarbageThisWeek
        value_template: >
          {% for x in value_json.result.records if 0 <= (strptime(x.WEEK_STARTING, '%d/%m/%Y')|as_local - now()).days < 7 %}
          {{ x.WEEK_STARTING }} - {{x.ZONE}}
          {% endfor %} 
      - name: GarbageNextWeek
        value_template: >
          {% for x in value_json.result.records if 7 <= (strptime(x.WEEK_STARTING, '%d/%m/%Y')|as_local - now()).days < 14 %}
          {{ x.WEEK_STARTING }} - {{x.ZONE}}
          {% endfor %}

Thanks… so this will not crash past the 53rd block? Then this is another way to run through all without needing to know the ‘size’, true?
The one thing seemingly missing is the > 7 and <14 etc. as the result can be negative with historical data in the file…but maybe I donot get the jinja well enough

It effectively does a “for each item in the list”, whatever the list’s length may be, so it can’t run past the end of the list.

If you mean the day range test for GarbageNextWeek, it’s part of the for-loop’s if statement.

The if is used to reduce the number of items to be iterated by the for-loop. For example, if I have a list of used cars and I only want to iterate through the ones that are between 2 and 5 years old inclusively:

{% for car in used_cars if 2 <= now().year - car.year <= 5 %}
  {{ car.year }} {{ car.model }} 
{% endfor %}

So…all back to @AussieByrd now…enjoy the playing around :slight_smile:

Thanks for everyone’s help on this… started getting to mostly what I wanted, but then found “Waste Collection Schedule” on HACS so have switched to that. Appreciate all the input tho… will likely com in handy in other stuff!
