Getting fuel prices from Tankerkoenig.de

I created a set of rules that gets the fuel prices of german fuel stations from Tankerkoenig.de.

You need:
an API-Key from Tankerkoenig.de (API_Key)
the IDs of the desired fuel stations ( for example: Tankstelle1_ID, Tankstelle2_ID, Tankstelle3_ID)
Number-Items for the prices (E10, E5 and Diesel) of each station (E10_1, E5_1, Diesel_1, E10_2,…)
DateTime Items that hold the Opening and closing times of each station (Opening1, Closing1, Opening2,…)

The rule OpeningTimes is called at System started and daily once at 0:03:50. In this rule the opening times of all stations are parsed from JSON returned from the “.details”-script, they are aved in the DateTime Items (Opening1, Closing1, Opening2,…)

The rule Benzinpreise is called every 10 minute (at Minute 07:50, 17:50, 27:50 …), in there each station is checked if it is open, for all open stations the prices of read with the .prices script and saved in the Number Items (E10_1, E5_1, Diesel_1, E10_2,…).

In both rules an Lambda-expression is used the reuse code that needs to run several times.

If anybody has any suggestions in order to improve the code used, I’m happy to take advices.

Hey @opus,
shouldn’t this be solved by New OH2 binding: Tankerkoenig ?

Yes, it should.
I’m trying to help the author with the further ideas I have.
In order to only request the prices from the actually open stations I needed some parsing code. Doing sthe needed trials in Eclipse is at moment a bit “heavy” for me. So I decided to code it as a rule initially and move it into the binding after words.
