Help setting up Scrape to monitor the name on my property taxes

Configuration
1

My county has a site that gives a static URL for my property. Basically bcpa period net slash ASP something mylotnumber. I was able to find where my name is clearly listed in the Developer Tools/View Source.

Breaking the link because I’m a new account imgur period com/a/nyelozX but the literal next line is my name in quotes. I want to have an alert say if the name changed. Dumb but can’t hurt since it’s all local anyways.

I tried /html/body/table[2]/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody/tr/td[1]/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[2]/span as the “Select” option when adding, but I still get “unknown”.

I ran it by ChatGPT, and it told me to do right click and “Copy SELECTOR” not HTML as I did above. But it’s still “unknown”. Got this when I copied: body > table:nth-child(3) > tbody > tr > td > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(1) > td:nth-child(1) > table:nth-child(2) > tbody > tr > td:nth-child(1) > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(2) > td:nth-child(2) > span

I just want it to show my name as the sensor, and then alert me if it ever changes (I have paid pushbullet so I’d have it tell me that way).

Likely, the page has some javascript that builds the page dynamically.
Try to use your browser “developer” environment to see the sequence of what is downloaded from the page. Look at the main html to see if the data is there.

Yes, the imgur link has the code. The literal next line in the code is my name. https://imgur.com/a/nyelozX Right after “BoldCopyBold9” the next line is something with my name in it.
