I’m trying to create a scrape sensor to pull the air quality index from this site.

I’ve tried #current-index > h2 > div as the select but the sensor keeps reading “Unknown”
Any ideas?

This is the HTML snippet that you are getting with that selector, and there is no data there. I assume the numeric value is injected via JavaScript, so the scrape integration won’t help you here.
<div id="current-index">
<h2>Current Air Quality Index</h2>
<a href="IndexPollutionBoard.aspx?ST_ID=63" id="IndexPollutionBoardLink">
<div id="index-gauge"></div>
</a>
</div>
However, you might be in luck, because it appears that the actual numeric value is stored in a hidden HTML snippet at the bottom of the page:
<div id="index">73</div>
So, maybe try #index
as selector.
Awesome, by using #index
as the select and adding User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 to the header it works.
Thank you!
