This fork adds possibility to login to html form before scraping. I'm calling it prelogin. See updated example configuration below. For more info about multipscrape itself see original author https://github.com/danieldotnl/hass-multiscrape

HA MultiScrape custom component

This Home Assistant custom component can scrape multiple fields (using CSS selectors) from a single http request (the existing scrape sensor can scrape a single field only).

It is based on both the existing Rest sensor and the Scrape sensor. The scraped fields are added as attributes on the sensor and using template sensors, you can see them as separate sensors. Most properties of the Rest and Scrape sensor apply.

Example configuration

  - platform: multiscrape
    name: home assistant scraper
    resource: https://www.home-assistant.io
    verify_ssl: false
    selectors:
      version:
        name: Current version
        select: '.current-version > h1:nth-child(1)'
        value_template: '{{ (value.split(":")[1]) }}'
      releasedate:
        name: Release date
        select: '.release-date'
    prelogin:
      preloginpage: https://url.of.that.site.com/login.html
      preloginform: 'loginForm'
      username_field: 'username'
      password_field: 'password'
      username: 'yourusername'
      password: 'yourpassword'
