Hello,
I am new to rainmeter and i am trying to get a tram departure from a tram stop, i live in switzerland so there are APIs but as i say i am very new so want to make a webscraper. I am using this site to get my information: https://search.ch/timetable/Basel,Brausebad
It regularly updates and this sadly changes the HTML source which may make parsing difficult. The problem i am having is identifying the string that i want to parse.
The HTML within the site that i think could be used is highlighted by the asterix. This Tram's number and direction and there are three departures at 15.17+4', 15.25, 15.33. of course the three times change frequently and ultimately what i want to parse
is it possible to write the parser to extract the information between these two long strings? OR if it's not possible at all then I'd like t know now i've only spent an hour or so on it rather than learn a new code just to find out it's not possible. I am also using the "web parser tutorial" for displaying the work
Thanks for any help you can offer.
