Web scraping a table

Configuration
1

Dear hive mind,
I’m using HACS Multiscrape and attemptiing to extract the petrol/diesel prices etc from:

which is embedded in:

So far I have:

- resource: https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/oDTQ2/71/
  name: HA scraper
  scan_interval: 28880
  sensor:
    - unique_id: petrol_price
      name: petrol price
      select: "tr.datawrapper-oDTQ2-kkj15p:nth-child(2) > th:nth-child(1)"
      value_template: '{{ value | float }}'

But its not returning anything. I noticed if I scraped the headings/text above the table then it was fine but the table seems to be a real problem.

All help is appreciated.

Probably easier to use their CSV feed https://static.dwcdn.net/data/oDTQ2.csv

Unleaded,Super unleaded,Diesel,LPG
155.82,171.40,179.18,86.38
pence per litre,pence per litre,pence per litre,pence per litre

Maybe look at Scrape CSV to do something with it.

That table is dynamically-generated by your browser from a bunch of Javascript. You can see that by doing View Source (Ctrl-U in Chrome/Windows). The scrape sensor cannot deal with that. Definitely go with the CSV option.
