July 23[edit]

import a value(in a specific field) from an external url[edit]

I'm new here and would like to know if my project could be possible on wikipedia. My goal is to import values from an external web page listing live water flow measurement of various rivers. I've searched à couple of hours now and don't really find what I'm looking for.

here an example of the flow measurement, the value of the first line on the last collumn is the number needed (under flow in m3/s) http://www.cehq.gouv.qc.ca/suivihydro/tableau.asp?NoStation=061024&Zone=Saguenay&Secteur=Kenogami

I think I've found something useful on mediawiki (Extension:External Data) but it seems to works on personnal server, something I'm not planning to use.

Thanks for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.228.220.55 (talk) 02:06, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP: Help desk or WP: Village pump are better places for this sort of thing. 2606:A000:4C0C:E200:9D03:2DE0:AA61:B599 (talk) 04:36, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
