Multiscrape for outage numbers

[mrlayance]

I am using Multiscrape to try and get power outage numbers.

• resource: https://outagemap.nspower.ca/external/default.html
  scan_interval: 1200
  sensor:
  • name: “NSP Outage Number”
    select: “#menu-content-total-outages > div.total-outages-value.menu-info-numbers”
    value_template: “{{ value | int }}”

Is this even possible?

What does your browser ‘browse source code’ option show?

Does the power utility also offer an API to obtain this data (with documentation)? Otherwise you are at the mercy of the web page designer if they change their code. JSON download?

Beautiful Soup with Python code?
