Need help to scrape song data from 'I Like Radio' website

[arvidst4]

Hi,

I use direct streams to play radio on my google home speaker but I don’t get any song or artist info. I would like scrape this website Guldkanalen – MUSIK FÖR VUXNA ÖRON - I LIKE RADIO to get the info.

I don’t have any experience with scrapers before so I’m not sure how to do. I have tried to follow two guides from the community:

Radio streaming with Album Art, Artist and Track Name

I have been using @Bob_NL’s radio script for a while. The issue I have is that this is not an audio stream that comes from an official app so there is no album art. and there’s no way to programmatically add an album art to a media_player as this is not an available service.

It’s not perfect yet but I’m rather pleased with the outcome: [image] Here is what I had to do: configuration.y…

[SOLVED] Need help to scrape data from website

hi, i would like to scrape data from this website - the table where you can see the name of the lake and the corrsponding temperature: http://www.wassertemperatur.org/oesterreich/ could you please give me a hint how to define the scrape function to achieve this? i tried it with a couple of html tags. with td it shows at least the name of the first lake, when trying tbody the entity is no longer there to integrate in lovelace.

When trying these sensors

  - platform: scrape
    resource: https://www.ilikeradio.se/guldkanalen/
    name: Guldkanalen_track
    select: 'span[class="player-audio-content-title-content"]'
    value_template: '{{ value | title }}'

  - platform: scrape
    resource: https://www.ilikeradio.se/guldkanalen/
    name: Guldkanalen_artist
    select: 'span[class="player-audio-content-desc"]'
    value_template: '{{ value | title }}'
  
  - platform: scrape
    name: Guldkanalen_song
    resource: https://www.ilikeradio.se/guldkanalen/
    select: ".entry-content > div:nth-child(2) > div > span.player-audio-content-title-content"

  - platform: scrape
    name: Guldkanalen_singer
    resource: https://www.ilikeradio.se/guldkanalen/
    select: ".entry-content > div:nth-child(2) > div > span.player-audio-content-desc"

I get this result

Is it possible to do this or is there another method?

I’m afraid you’re out of luck using the scrape sensor. That website uses JavaScript to populate the player. What HA sees is:

<div class="no-pm">
<div class="player-audio-content-title">
<span class="player-audio-content-title-content"></span>
<span class="player-audio-content-desc"></span>
</div>
</div>

However, you might be able to fetch the data using the rest integration. I can see that the web browser is retrieving some data from “https://app.khz.se/api/v2/program/current?channel_id=72&with=host%2Cbuttons%2Cimages” and “https://app.khz.se/api/v2/timeline?channel_id=72&client_id=15618288&to=2022-05-22T15%3A26%3A12&limit=20”.
Maybe you can leave out some of the parameters? It seems as if “https://app.khz.se/api/v2/timeline?channel_id=72&limit=1” gives you the current song?

I tried this

  - platform: rest
    name: rest_artist
    resource: https://app.khz.se/api/v2/timeline?channel_id=72&limit=1
    value_template: "{{ value_json.artist_name }}"
    scan_interval: 15

  - platform: rest
    name: rest_title
    resource: https://app.khz.se/api/v2/timeline?channel_id=72&limit=1
    value_template: "{{ value_json.title }}"
    scan_interval: 15

But it doesn’t return anything.

But it doesn’t return anything.

The JSON returned is actually a bit more complex. Try this:

rest:
  - resource: https://app.khz.se/api/v2/timeline?channel_id=72&limit=1
    scan_interval: 15
    sensor:
      - name: Artist
        value_template: "{{ value_json[0].song.artist_name }}"
      - name: Title
        value_template: "{{ value_json[0].song.title }}"

Thanks,
I combined them to get a single sensor with both artist and title

rest:
  - resource: https://app.khz.se/api/v2/timeline?channel_id=72&limit=1
    scan_interval: 15
    sensor:
      - name: Guldkanalen
        value_template: >-
          {{ value_json[0].song.artist_name}} - {{ value_json[0].song.title }}
