Direct link to any current HRRR parameter

I would like to create a link (URL) that will always display the "current" HRRR loop of 1 km agl reflectivity, but am unable to do so. Example: Here's what a URL to a loop of 1 km agl reflectivity looks like, which includes the actual date/time of this loop... https://rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/HRRR/jsloopLocalDiskDateDomainZipTZA.cgi?dsKeys=hrrr_jet:&runTime=2017050715&plotName=1ref_t6sfc&fcstInc=60&numFcsts=37&model=hrrr&ptitle=HRRR Model Fields - Experimental&maxFcstLen=36&fcstStrLen=-1&resizePlot=1&domain=t6 Apparently, the problem in creating a link that always defaults to the "current" reflectivity loop lies with this part of the URL... &runTime=2017050715 Is there SOMETHING I can substitute for the date/time that will always give me the current loop? I have tried using "placeholders" for the missing date/time such as... &runTime=? &runTime=* &runTime= &runTime &runTime="" &runTime=& &runTime=| &runTime=* &runTime== &runTime=////////// &runTime=.......... &runTime=current and removing &runTime= entirely. All substitutes have failed. Will anything work in place of the specific date/time? Thanks for any response to my email address.
