While we all wait for the 70% (80%?) mark to leave our homes again - I thought I would add the stats to our Home Assistant dashboard so we can see New South Wales’ progress.
NSW Health does not publish this data in a consumable fashion, so this is using screen scraping - unless somebody can think of a better source for the data.
All the information is here github/troykelly/homeassistant-au-nsw-covid
The vaccine numbers only represent the vaccines given by NSW Health - the NSW Govt publish more detailed numbers here:
hahahaha. That woman is never going to take her jackboot off our throat…
Do you think it would be reasonable to just half the number? ie 3,968,811 total doses == (roughly) 1.9M humans vaccinated?
There are these sources too
Thank you @bacco007 - this page had a heap of json embedded in it - a whole heap of the data doesn’t need to be scraped any more. The only problem seems to be the json files are also manually generated, as they have some still old data (not yet up to date)
If anybody is interested in building your own integration - the json data sources are listed here:
github/troykelly/python-nswcovid/issues/18
@troykelly FYI - I updated to your latest version (using HA OS) - and it wont install, because for some reason (not your fault), jq wont install in the HA OS environment

Oh no.
I should have tested outside of the development environment.
I will have to have a look at it tomorrow - apologies!
Updated - all working again, thanks!
That’s weird because HA OS included jq a long time ago…
Oh - it made it angry… very angry.
Anyway - I learned a new thing - jello - and it’s made it faster than using jq externally.
I just need something to parse a search - because I’m lazy and I’ve built this to be generic so I can change it as they change their pages. I load a data file and then get the relevant data sources, be they HTML, json or text and then search away…
it wont allow you to install the jq python library - there appear to be non-python dependencies missing
