Hi @sadek

You won’t be able to scrape that page because the data is loaded via scripts
(try to show the page source and search for the artist name, you won’t find it)

[lolouk44]

is this for all stations?
RTL2, Chill and Absolute Radio have changed their web page since I posted this.
I’ve also moved away from HA Scrape sensors and created my own script to retrieve the data more often (every 15sec) as opposed to every minute (default in HA)
I’ll try and create a package with the new data.

[Denny_d (Denny)]

hello and thanks for the answer, yes for all the stations the code I posted is correct in your opinion? if you do some new package let me know that I’m interested

[Denny_d (Denny)]

any help for me?

[lolouk44]

found what’s wrong. You don’t have the input_number in your package (which to be fair I think I forgot in my earlier posts)
Anyway I’ve updated your package file with the latest data from my current setup. I think I have everything.
Please note I’ve not created packages before so you probably will need to “personalise” some things

Package Code

Hi.
I have a problem with your exemple:

Error running command: `/config/script/stop_radiostream_sensors.sh`, return code: 1

Could you help me?

[lolouk44]

I have not mentioned it but you need to make sure the bash scripts are set to be executables
sudo chmod +x [filename]

[karma (karmah)]

I already ran this command on the 3 files … But without success.
I tried to run the file HA_Scrape.py by ssh and it gives me the following error:

pi@hassio:/usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/script $ python HA_Scrape.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "HA_Scrape.py", line 4, in <module>
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
ImportError: No module named bs4

[lolouk44]

Bs4 is BeautifulSoup which is used by the Scrape integration, should already be installed…
You need to make sure this runs under ha, not just via ssh as indeed it won’t work as you’re outside the container…

[Denny_d (Denny)]

thank you very much for your support! you did a fantastic job. In the end I customized your package that I am attaching … it is a simplified version without being able to view the artist and the track but equally functional …
I just changed the fact that when you press the Stop the boolean input goes directly off and eliminated the Scrap, then as regards the reproduction instead of audio / mp4 I had to put music otherwise some radio stations did not work me. I attach the package if could be of interest to someone else

the only thing that I couldn’t manage was the custom radio station … when I insert the link like this: http://icecast.unitedradio.it/Virgin.mp3 and I want to try some others but nothing starts. … Can you please check if it works for you? Thanks

[maxcalavera (Bruno Melo)]

@lolouk44 Good morning, could you help me with this integration? I don’t understand much and I’m not getting the information about the album and the artist, although on the website that information appears there. Thanks in advance for the help you can give me …

The website is…
https://m.radiocomercial.iol.pt/player/emissaofm

I have tried all the codes shared here but have not been able to. Thank you very much for the help you can give.

[lolouk44]

Hi @maxcalavera

I moved away from the above code because it kept failing
You really need to find out if your radio provides json data. Scraping is bound to fail as at some stage they will change the interface and your sensor will fail.
I have an updated code if that helps you, check this post:

Chromecast Radio with station and player selection

BS4 is Beautiful Soup. It’s the engine that’s used by the Scrape Sensor But the scrape sensor only refreshes once every min and I find it a bit more complicated than using BS4 directly. In addition I want a single call per radio, as opposed to 1 call per attribute, which might end up black listing me as spam/DDOS Here is the python script I’ve written to extract artist, track and album art from the various radios I listen to:

Hi, I would like to use this solution. I installed HA on a VM so the install is ‘Home Assistant OS’. Should I be able to get it up and running or is it only for the experts in HA container or HA supervised?

[lolouk44]

It is not only for the experts in HA container or HA supervisor, so follow the several guides posted in the previous comments and it should help you get started, but depending on your skills and what you want, it may be a bit of a learning curve…

[Johanvh (Johan Van Hoorde)]

Thanks, will start and build my experience

help me to scrape this src link on this site, please: Image of the Day

[lolouk44]

Please note this is not related to this thread.
In addition there are various guides on this community on how to scrape data.

Ok, no problem. I just solve that.
