Scrape - Custom Resource with Input Text

Configuration

Is it possible to have a custom/dynamic resource URL whilst using the scrape?

  resource: https:EXAMPLE.COM="{{ states('input_text.example') }}"

I don’t think I’ve explained this very well…

If I wanted to pull the weather back for UK, the URL may look like… www.example.com=UK

I’m wanting to determine what the ‘UK’ is by typing it into the text box…

Is this possible?

You can’t template the resource. So, to answer your question: No.

Perfect, thanks Petro :slight_smile:

I’ll try finding another solution, unless anybody could advise further.

You can provide a resource template on the multiscrape sensor.

Thanks!
I’ll give this a go shortly… Don’t suppose you have any examples? :stuck_out_tongue:

There’s an example in the docs? And the options say you can use resource_template instead of resource… what more do you need?
