Dynamic XML Badge

The Dynamic XML Badge allows you to extract an arbitrary value from any XML Document using an XPath selector and show it on a badge.

Useful resources for constructing XPath selectors:

Note: For XML documents that use a default namespace prefix, you will need to use the local-name function to construct your query. For example /*[local-name()='myelement'] rather than /myelement.

Query Parameters

The URL to a XML document

Example: https://httpbin.org/xml

query string REQUIRED

An XPath expression that will be used to query the document

Example: //slideshow/slide[1]/title

prefix string

Optional prefix to append to the value

Example: [

suffix string

Optional suffix to append to the value
