Expected Output
Data from the script, right now it can't login due to 2FA on the Xfinity web site sending me a code via SMS.
Testing Assistance
Would be glad to help!
Yup. I've got a moving captcha on my login page now. No more live data use tracking. :-(
So long and thanks for all the fish.
Well this is unfortunate! They must be rolling this out to folks, as I don't see the captcha prompt when logging in yet. I guess it's only a matter of time.
If only they would expose the usage data via an API...
It looks like there is indeed an API now which may solve the screen-scarping and captcha issues. A few examples:
- Home Assistant integration (which can be configured to export data to influxdb): https://github.com/robert-alfaro/xfinity-usage
- https://github.com/peterwooley/xfinity-usage
- https://github.com/JeremyKnudsen/xfinity-library
- https://github.com/lachesis/comcast
... The first approach is an out-of-the-box solution if you're already using home assistant.
The remaining three could probably be adapted to be dockerized and allow for exporting of the necessary data to influxdb.
