scraping an API endpoint that requires a timeslot

[stefangweichinger]

forgive me if I ask an FAQ here. I browsed the README and the issues for an example ... so far I couldn't find something helpful.

I need to scrape data from an URL like this:

https://monitoringapi.solaredge.com/site/10234567/power.json?startTime=2024-11-11%2011:00:00&endTime=2024-11-11%2014:35:00&api_key=<>

That API doesn't give me one current value but only lists of values for a given timeframe.

How I can I configure the json exporter and/or prometheus to only fetch the current value or only the last few values?

thanks for any pointers!

link to their API for reference, if someone is very interested ;-) Their call "URL: /site/{siteId}/currentPowerFlow" gives empty response.

found a "currentPower" value in another API call. So maybe I don't need the requested functionality anymore ... although I'd like to learn that anyway ;-)
