Rest API calls no longer update

Configuration

“https://www.muis.gov.sg/api/pagecontentapi/GetPrayerTime?”

like this?

22

Yes, and if that doesn’t work and you truely need todays date, you can use a resource_template

https://www.muis.gov.sg/api/pagecontentapi/GetPrayerTime?v={{ now().timestamp() | int }}

full config…

- platform: rest
  name: solat
  resource_template: >
    https://www.muis.gov.sg/api/pagecontentapi/GetPrayerTime?v={{ now().timestamp() | int }}
  scan_interval: 21600
  json_attributes:
    - Subuh
    - Syuruk
    - Zohor
    - Asar
    - Maghrib
    - Isyak

Interesting, would a resource template be generating random numbers at the end of “?”

or it is doing something else entirely?

I will try using https://www.muis.gov.sg/api/pagecontentapi/GetPrayerTime?
and update tomorrow if it refreshes the data correctly.

24

the template uses the current seconds from the beginning of time as the value, so it’ll always be unique

25

That sounds perfect. I will try it and update here. thanks again Pedro!!

Hi all, I can confirm that it works.

Use the resource template.

I manage to get it to work using the codes above. Its been 3 days, so far so good.

  - platform: rest
    name: solat_muis
    scan_interval: 7200
    resource_template: "https://www.muis.gov.sg/api/pagecontentapi/GetPrayerTime?v={{ now().timestamp() | int }}"
    json_attributes:
      - PrayerDate
      - Hijri
      - Subuh
      - Syuruk
      - Zohor
      - Asar
      - Maghrib
      - Isyak

Sounds great, let me implement this and update if a need arises.

30

You already implemented this if you copied what I wrote well above his reply…

31

In that case, I can confirm that it didnt work beyond 2 days (for me). YMMV

32

May i know if it’s still working for you?

33

Yes the codes still work for me.

34

Can share your full codes for this please

          value_template: >-          
            {%if is_state('select.solat_source', 'MUIS')%}{{ as_timestamp(strptime(now().date() ~ " " ~ state_attr('sensor.solat_MUIS', 'Subuh'), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')) | timestamp_local }}
            {%elif is_state("select.solat_source", "Islamic Prayer Times")%}{{ states('sensor.islamic_prayer_times_fajr_prayer') }}  
            {%endif%}

I have dropdown to choose source of the prayer times. Hence the if and elif. But you can see the codes under MUIS on how i extracted the value from the json.

somehow resource_template always breaks for me

so i did thru curl if anyone else want to use this same effect
