I have attempted the below to no avail. Can someone please confirm if HA only supports CSS path and not Xpath?

  - platform: scrape
    name: NSW Covid Cases - Total
    resource: https://covidlive.com.au/report/daily-cases/nsw
    select: "#content > div > div > section > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(2) > td.COL3.CASES"

Is there a way for me to debug this? the logs are fairly vague

Using CSS Selector Tester from CSS Selector Tester - Chrome Web Store i managed to get it working :slight_smile:

For anyone else interested though what is confusing is the select statement above also worked for css selector tester


  - platform: scrape
    name: NSW Covid Cases - Total
    resource: https://covidlive.com.au/report/daily-cases/nsw
    select: ".DAILY-CASES tr:nth-child(2) .COL3.CASES"

  - platform: scrape
    name: NSW Covid Cases - Today
    resource: https://covidlive.com.au/report/daily-cases/nsw
    select: ".DAILY-CASES tr:nth-child(2) .COL5.NET"

  - platform: scrape
    name: NSW Covid Cases - Last Update
    resource: https://covidlive.com.au/report/daily-cases/nsw
    select: ".DAILY-CASES tr:nth-child(2) .COL1.DATE"
