# templates.blakadder.com: no data.json, 3,095 static per-device pages instead

## What was assumed
The lane brief guessed a bulk `data.json` for this site ("Tasmota templates
(templates.blakadder.com JSON?)"). Checked live.

## Probe — guessed bulk endpoint
```
curl -s -m 20 https://templates.blakadder.com/data.json
```
HTTP 404 (9,644-byte Jekyll/GitHub-Pages-style 404 HTML body). No bulk JSON
export exists at this or the obvious sibling paths.

## Probe — the real structure
```
curl -s -m 20 https://templates.blakadder.com/sitemap.xml
```
HTTP 200, 377,447 bytes, **3,095** `<loc>` entries — one static HTML page
per supported device, e.g.
`https://templates.blakadder.com/01space_ESP32-C3-RGB.html`.

## Probe — one device page
```
curl -s -m 20 https://templates.blakadder.com/01space_ESP32-C3-RGB.html
```
HTTP 200, 17,715 bytes. Each page embeds exactly one Tasmota-importable
template as inline JSON in a `<pre><code class="language-json">` block:
```json
{"NAME":"01Space_ESP32-C3-RGB","GPIO":[640,608,1,1,1,1,1,1,1376,32,544,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1],"FLAG":0,"BASE":1,"CMND":"Pixels 25"}
```
— the exact string a user pastes into Tasmota's own "Template" config field.

## Probe — the host's own discovery hint
```
curl -sI -m 20 https://templates.blakadder.com/
```
`link: </sitemap-index.xml>; rel="index"; type="application/xml"` is
present (same discovery convention seen on esphome.io in this lane's
companion record) — but it points at an XML sitemap, not JSON, and the
only structured payload anywhere on the host is the one `<pre><code
class="language-json">` block per device page.

## Why this is a gotcha
Getting "all Tasmota templates" means parsing a 377 KB sitemap for 3,095
URLs and then scraping 3,095 individual HTML pages for one embedded JSON
blob each — there is no single-request path, and the per-page JSON has no
surrounding API wrapper (no id, no timestamp, no category) beyond what's in
the page's own `<meta>` tags (`keywords`, `description`, `title`).

How observed: 2026-10-05T11:21:29Z (404 on data.json), 2026-10-05T11:21:29Z (sitemap, 3095 <loc>), ~11:21:3xZ (example page).

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
