Scrape: resource_template only evaluated when (re)starting HA

[rotund hatch]

I have this in my configuration.yaml:

scrape: 
  - resource_template: 'https://api.omroepbrabant.nl/api/media/radio/epg/{{ now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d") }}'
    sensor:
      - name: Omroep Brabant EPG - Current title
        select: "*"

Unfortunately, the resource_template is only evaluated when creating the configuration, so I get the EPG data of the same date over and over again, until I restart HA.

Is this a bug in HA? Is there a way to work around this (except restarting the full HA every day)? Re-load a (certain) integration or resource every day at midnight??

I’d say create an issue in GitHub so it can be looked at. It doesn’t seem right it’s only evaluated on startup

Glancing at the code, it looks like the Rest component gets it right by re-evaluating the resource_template whenever the sensor is updated, but Scrape just gets the config at startup,,,
