Scrape Weather Forecast (csv/txt) into Text Dummy

[BarryT]

Dear peeps,

Is it possible to get one line text out of a website into a text dummy?

For example:
weeronline.nl has a text forecast "it will stay dry for the next 30 minutes" or "in 20 minutes it will rain till 22.00".

Is this possible?

Thank you

If its possible to seperate it, sure.

It would be easier if there is an api available (don't know/haven't looked for), or when the expected text is easy to recognize by html-codes like id="RainIncoming".

Okay, cool..
But how to import that "id" into a text dummy, and refresh it every minute then?

Depends on what you have read for now...

Json-api can be use to push data into devices.
I use this myself to get current electricity/gas/water status and calculate what the meterdisplay should be. And push this into the textsensor.

Okay, then i need to do some homework i guess
What do you prefer, make a php frontpage or is it easy to do with json?
I allready can do it in php with including but i have no idea on how to get that value into a dummy

Also, on my phone i can't get the page source. So cant tell how the data would be under the hood... WeerOnline does provide some widgets, however not with the rainforecast as in your question.

Searching the www about weeronline api OpenWeatherMap and Buienrader do have Api to interface with, making it easier to extraxt the desired info text.

However... after looking some info about OpenWeatherMap API and Buienradar. Makes me draw this conclusion:
In the next 3 hours there is or isn't rain in millimeters expected. Then display the text Its gonna rain before 13.00/ Its not gonna rain.

yes you need to do some homework...

Php can be used any way. Json is just a way to get/put data.

I prefer plain html filled with data the ajax way, like the Dashboard already does. Also usin New Frontpage.html [G3rards version] on dedicated tablet.
