No API? No problem - Scrape the web portal of your AV device manufacturers to get data

Accompanying repo found here:
github.com/patrickgilsf/av-we...
How can we build observability automations when the manufacturer doesn't have an API? Scrape the data from the web. See an example where I use Puppeteer to scrape data from ‪@q-sys‬ , ‪@logitech‬, and DTEN.
Here are all the links you will see in the embedded screen shots:

Literally teaching this in my class this weekend using Zabbix’s built-in selenium monitoring (though puppeteer’s api is better 😊)
