Scrape Informations combined with a Restful sensor?

[Nuklearhase]

Hello!

I want to scrape some informations from this site: ChargeFinder - Ladestationen für Elektroautos.

I want to have the informations in my ha, if these charging stations are available (“verfügbar”) or currently blocked (“belegt”). It seems, with normal scraping I cant make it work. Am I right in my assumption that it doesnt work because the informations are shown with javascript? Is there a way to get this informations in any other way? I read some things about Restful Sensor, but Im not skilled enough to even test this. Any ideas?

Just a suggestion, why use that particular site when you could use others that have APIs? Even have built Home Assistant integrations?

Nearby EV Rapid Chargers

With android auto now an option and an open API on openchargemap I decided it would be really useful to have a dashboard that constantly displays my nearest 3 rapid car chargers with useful info (cost, operator, service condition, distance). How it works Tracker in the car updates it’s Lat Long co-ordinates on a regular basis Lat Long is fed to the API which returns a JSON with all the data required (API is set to nearest 3 CCS chargers within 30 miles) JSON is processed onto Markdown cards …

You could extract info from OpenChargeMap just like this one does.
