Extracting spatial information from a web map

Question

I'm trying to extract spatial information from this website: https://www.ausgrid.com.au/Outages/Current-Outages

Basically, they have a map showing all current outages and I want to get spatial data being shown in the map may it be JSON or GeoJSON or whatever format. Note that this is live data and I would like to extract the points/polygons on specific time intervals. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Answer 1

I bit of digging in the browser debugger network section revealed some useful URLs for getting data from the outage site. URLs below are for the planned outages, but I'm sure there are equivalents for the current outages.

You can get JSON list of planned outages with coordinates and WebId identifier from the following URL (plain GET): https://www.ausgrid.com.au/webapi/OutageMapData/GetFuturePlannedOutageMarkers. List looks like this:

[
  {
    "Customers": "85",
    "Coords": [
      {
        "lat": -33.71821,
        "lng": 151.13601
      }
    ],
    "OutageDisplayType": "P",
    "WebId": 62572
  },
  {
    "Customers": "94",
    "Coords": [
      {
        "lat": -33.83988,
        "lng": 151.24174
      }
    ],
    "OutageDisplayType": "P",
    "WebId": 62912
  },
.

]

Detailed JSON info about planned outages is available from the following URL (POST request): https://www.ausgrid.com.au/webapi/OutageListData/GetDetailedPlannedOutages. Info looks like this:
