Hi,

I have an URL that I’d like to read in, but it contains the current date and thus is being updated everyday. 

How may I change the URL within the reader so that it’s automatically up-to-date?

I’ve tried define a user parameter as a URL but I don’t manage to make it dynamic there. I thought I could replace the date e.g. 2024-11-05 with @DateTimeFormat(@DateTimeNow(),%Y-%m-%d) in the Default Value URL but it doesn’t work.

Any help appreciated!

 

You can create the URL in an attribute, and use that attribute in your HTTPCaller.

The attribute MyURL in this example is defined as

https://this.is.nonsense/The_Page_@DateTimeFormat(@DateTimeNow(),%Y-%m-%d)

Thank you, that was a simple and efficient fix.
