Peterborough council?

[gr4z]

Hi, any chance of the Peterborough Council code? Web page is here
https://www.peterborough.gov.uk/residents/rubbish-and-recycling/bins
You have to put in a postcode (try PE46PE), any number house. I would try myself but wouldn't know where to start!
Many thanks

Hi @gr4z

There isnt a need for Beautiful soup here - Peterborough have an API that gives a ready made JSON - the Python scripts just give you this in the absense of an API.

Change the postcode as required:
https://www.peterborough.gov.uk/api/addresses/PE46PE

Find your uprn for your address
e.g. 100090181402 = 12 CANTERBURY ROAD

Then put it at the end of this url (note the date covers you to the end of the year):

https://www.peterborough.gov.uk/api/jobs/2020-1-01/2020-12-31/100090181402

This could then feed HA directly - just a tip to keep your scan interval low or you will hammer your council for data and they may block you

Let me know how you get on

Thanks
Rob
