WebParser - Dynamic URL?

[insin]

I've been playing around with creating a skin using the WebParser plugin to work with output from a web based API.

I would like to be able to build a dynamic URL string for a measure that can use strings returned by other WebParser plugin measures.

Is this possible? If so, can someone point to an example?

Basic example of what I'm trying to do:

Code: Select all

[TvbIDFeed]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=http://localhost:8081/api/.../?cmd=history&limit=5&type=downloaded
;retrieve identifiers from API output
RegExp="(?si)"tvdbid":\s(\d{1,10}).*"tvdbid":\s(\d{1,10}).*"tvdbid":\s(\d{1,10}).*"tvdbid":\s(\d{1,10}).*"tvdbid":\s(\d{1,10})"
UpdateRate=600
Debug=1
StringIndex=1

[TvbIDFeed1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
DynamicVariables=1
Url=[TvbIDFeed]
StringIndex=1

;here's where I would want to use a dynamic URL using the string from the TvbIDFeed1 measure

[LaunchFeed]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
DynamicVariables=1
Url=http://localhost:8081/api/.../?cmd=episode&tvdbid=[TvbIDFeed1]&season=2&episode=2&full_path=1
RegExp="(?siU)"location":\s"(.*)""
UpdateRate=600
Debug=1
StringIndex=1
Substitute="\\":"\"

I've tried reading up on this and have looked for some examples but I could not find anything. If anyone can be of assistance here it would be appreciated.

Webparser is the only plugin that does not support Dynamic Variables at this time.

Here is a work around for using Dynamic Variables with Webparser:

Hopefully in the near future, WebParser will support Dynamic Variables!

Any news on dynamic urls in WebParser? They don't seem to work yet with 2.3.1. Since the API is now changed and a lot of other plugins have already been converted to use dynamic variables I think it's time for WebParser to support them fully as well. Especially since we now have a release version of 2.3.

Not yet. It may be in the near future, but we can't make any promises just yet.

Thanks. It sounds like you're slowly getting there. I'll wait a little longer
