Euromillions display on MagicMirror

[thymon]

@lavolp3 thanks for you interest.
I have some time, but I’m not a developper :P :D

@thymon I put in some first thoughts on this.
The problem is for anyone who changes their own numbers, how to implement this.
This person would need to put the numbers into the config every time.

But still a great idea, especially for anyone having fixed numbers.

Already started a project :-)

@lavolp3 How does Gooogle get the info?

I found this : https://rapidapi.com/creativesolutions/api/euromillions

[lavolp3]

@thymon I tried out the magayo api and had the module near completion, and then found out magayo only takes 10 API calls PER MONTH in their free plan.
These are exhausted for me so I need to think about using another API or some dummy data.

I am quite far on a module, but I would prefer to include more lotteries than just euromillions. So if you could research for an API and provide one that covers more lotteries I’d be grateful.

I found 10 request/month too :(

But there are 2 results per week for the Euro Millions.
:P

@thymon 10 requests/month is very difficult to manage.
You need to consider that every time the mirror gets restarted for whatever reason it will have forgotten the data and needs to send a new API request.
A nightmare for people debugging or developing something.

Yes, I understand…

Why don’t you create a local html-page on the RPI and display it with MMM-SmartWebDisplay?

• Look for a website with the requested information (for example lottoland)

• in your local web-page, call this site and crop it to the part you need using iFrame

• use MMM-SmartWebDisplay and link to the local html…in the config write url: [“/modules/millions.html”] if you place your local html in the modules folder

no api, no problem, works with nearly every webpage

Of course that’s a solution. From my point of view however not a nice one. Styling is a mess and it also creates some work. And everyone wanting to use it would have the work.
With a proper module the community has less work and it can be integrated and styled much better.

For @thymon s purpose it works of course.

Hello,

i 'm using the module MMM-smartwebdisplay to display some web url on my magicmirror, like sncf, magicmirror,…
You can use this for the moment with this configuration

		{
			module: 'MMM-SmartWebDisplay',//
			disabled: false,
			position: 'right',	// This can be any of the regions.
			config: {
				// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
				logDebug: false, //set to true to get detailed debug logs. To see them : "Ctrl+Shift+i"
				height:"550", //hauteur du cadre en pixel ou %
				width:"500", //largeur
               				updateInterval: 10, //in min. Set it to 0 for no refresh (for videos)
                				NextURLInterval: 0, //in min, set it to 0 not to have automatic URL change. If only 1 URL given, it will be updated
                				displayLastUpdate: false, //to display the last update of the URL
				displayLastUpdateFormat: 'ddd - HH:mm:ss', //format of the date and time to display
                				url: ["https://tirage-gagnant.com/euromillions/resultats-euromillions/"], //source of the URL to be displayed
                				scrolling: "no" // allow scrolling or not. html 4 only
				}
		},

change options like you want…It’s just an idea for you…Have fun !
