PostNL Integration

[ptnijssen (Peter Nijssen)]

Perhaps its me but my original multiscrape still functions I believe. I dont have any automations or whatsoever but purely for display. I still get updates about dhl packages

Normally, when you can authenticate using your saved X-AUTH-TOKEN cookie, you can still fetch the data and the form_submit function of multiscrape isn’t used.

My problem was, as I just started using this integration, the initial login doesn’t work so the token can’t be fetched.

Your response brings me hope the X-AUTH-TOKEN doesn’t expire (soon) so this solution is a good workaround until someone finds a quicker way.

@Milenco1 when I login step 1 result is I logged in without token.
how do I get the X-AUTH-TOKEN ?

[Milenco1 (Milenco Mulder)]

Once you have logged in, can get visit the page in your browser to see the JSON data? Then the cookie is stored in your browser and need to retrieve it via Developer Tools.

I use Edge but now tried Chrome and no token:

Are you sure you are looking correctly? Maybe this helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-j-vlDuYtA

@Milenco1

 - sensor:
      name: DHL Packages
      command: 'curl -v --cookie "X-AUTH-TOKEN=theverylongtokenyouhavecopied" https://my.dhlecommerce.nl/receiver-parcel-api/parcels'
      value_template: "{{ value_json.parcels | list | count }}"
      json_attributes:
        - parcels

thank you, now I managed to get the sensor but strggling with my already existing sensor in command_line.

dumb question: do you know how I get this right ?

[Milenco1 (Milenco Mulder)]

It’s probably a yaml/indentation error. See the docs (Command line - Home Assistant), you’ll probably need to use:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
command_line:
  - sensor:
      command: SENSOR_COMMAND
  - sensor:
      command: SENSOR_COMMAND_2

Try it directly from configuration.yaml first and then include.

remove the “sensor:” from line 8

unfortunately didn’t work
but this was for me the solution:

both solutions unfortunately didn’t work

The command line works for me so far. Hopefully the token is for a long time :-). Thanks a lot.
