| I have decided to stop any and all development of ham-related software.  | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| I will leave Log4OM up. That's it. The dev there has been very kind to me. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| I will not be picking up development. If you want to continue, you can buy my code. | ||||

| title: PiScrape - Text-Only Hotspot Information | ||||
| --- | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| [Git Repository](https://git.pickmy.org/nq4t/piscrape) | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| PiScrape allows you to display your connected reflectors/talkgroups in a small webpage you can embed, like this: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| <iframe border=0 src="https://pistar.nq4t.com/piscrape/piscrape.php" width="500" height="300"></iframe> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| It does this by scraping the Pi-Star dashboard for the information using a shell script and php page. It can be run | ||||
| on any webserver with PHP and SSH access to your Pi-Star. It can also be run entirely on Pi-Star if you open web ports | ||||
| or reverse proxy. The original version ran on a locally hosted web-server that could pull the dashboard directly. But | ||||
| I also had success running it on remote web-servers that could SSH in to the Pi-Star. Remote SSH execution is not yet | ||||
| included in the repository; but if you know how to do that, you probably can write that small script yourself. The | ||||
| current implementation is running entirely on the PiStar via nginx reverse proxy. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| The PHP page itself largely just calls the shell script, which returns the HTML code containing your connection info. | ||||
| When the script is executed; it pulls either the repeaterstatus frame from the dashboard or the Brandmeister API page. | ||||
| Then using a series of awk and sed commands, the information is extracted and output. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ### Bash Script | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ```bash | ||||
| #!/bin/bash | ||||
| #.013 alpha | ||||
| # de NQ4T (nq4tango@gmail.com) | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| # SET THE HOSTNAME OR IP OF YOUR HOTSPOT! | ||||
| pidmr=192.168.1.10 | ||||
| # I HAVE TWO SO I SET TWO | ||||
| #pidstar=192.168.1.11 | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| # grab copy of rendered bm_links.php from hotspot, convert HTML to newline, filter by "TG", remove timeslot info, convert to one line | ||||
| # check contents to see if we need to display 'no groups' message | ||||
| # if you are not using DMR, then comment these two lines out | ||||
| # to comment out, just add a pound-sign to the start of the line, like these comments. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| dmr=$(curl -s http://$pidmr/mmdvmhost/bm_links.php| sed 's/<[^>]\+>/\n/g' | grep '^TG' |  sed 's/TG/#/g'| sed 's/(.)//g' | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ - /g') | ||||
| [ -z "$dmr" ] && dmr="No Talkgroups Found" | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| # do the same for dstar with repeaterinfo.php but just egrep for reflector prefix, strip HTML, keep the first 8 characters | ||||
| # check to see if we need to display not linked | ||||
| # if you are not using D-Star, comment these next two lines out. if you don't, the script will take longer to run. | ||||
| # If you modify what egrep looks for, you may get other modes to work. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| #dstar=$(curl -s http://$pidstar/mmdvmhost/repeaterinfo.php | egrep "REF|XRF|DCS|XLX" | sed 's/<[^>]\+>//g' | cut -b 1-8) | ||||
| #[ -z "$dstar" ] && dstar="Not Linked" | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| # HTML for table cells on hotspot.php page. These are all one line even if they look like two in your editor. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| # This is for a 2x2 table using DMR and D-Star | ||||
| #printf "<tr><td style=\"vertical-align: top; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; text-align: right;\" width=\"20%%\"><small>BM TG:</small></td>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: top;\"><small>$dmr</small><br></td></tr>\n<tr><td style=\"vertical-align: top; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; text-align: right;\" width=\"20%%\"><small>D-Star:</small></td>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: top;\"><small>$dstar</small><br></td></tr>\n" | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| # This is for a DMR only display. | ||||
| printf "<tr><td style=\"vertical-align: top; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; text-align: right;\"><small>BM TG:</small></td>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: top;\"><small style=\"font-style: italic;\">$dmr</small><br></td></tr>\n" | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| # This is for a D-STar Only Display | ||||
| # printf "<tr><td style=\"vertical-align: top; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; text-align: right;\"><small>D-Star:</small></td>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: top;\"><small style=\"font-style: italic;\">$dstar</small><br></td></tr>\n" | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| The script iself is commented pretty well to explain how it works. Minimal modification is required for operation. The main requirement is you can either access the | ||||
| dashboard from the system running the script, or can remotely execute the script on a machine that can. Since putting your Pi-Star's dashboard on the internet is risky | ||||
| without reverse proxy; remote execution via SSH and key-based authentication is recommended.  | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| The script's output is literally pre-formatted HTML: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| pi-star@pi-star(rw):~$ ./piscrape.sh | ||||
| <tr><td style="vertical-align: top; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; text-align: right;"><small>BM TG:</small></td> | ||||
| <td style="vertical-align: top;"><small style="font-style: italic;">#3151 #98003 </small><br></td></tr> | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| The PHP executes the script, stuffs this information in the proper place, as well as adding a time-stamp: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ```php | ||||
| <html> | ||||
| <head> | ||||
| <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" | ||||
| http-equiv="content-type"> | ||||
| <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> | ||||
