What is the issue you are experiencing?

in the documentation page https://docs.mealie.io/documentation/community-guide/home-assistant/ for the example rest api calls listed in home assistant, the existing lines... value_template: "{{ value_json[0].recipe.name }}" value_template: "{{ value_json[0].recipe.id }}"

work, but produce an error in the home assistant logs. On my own setup, I changed the lines to

value_template: "{{ value_json[0]['recipe']['name']}}" value_template: "{{ value_json[0]['recipe']['id']}}"

and so far i get the same result, but no error message in the logs.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a home assistant rest sensor in Configuration.yaml file
2. paste the mealie rest api call for todays meal `#Mealie API Calls
   • platform: rest resource: "https://[mealieinstance]/api/groups/mealplans/today" method: GET name: Mealie todays meal headers: Authorization: Bearer [token] value_template: "{{ value_json[0]['recipe']['name']}}" force_update: true scan_interval: 30
   • platform: rest resource: "https://[mealieinstance]/api/groups/mealplans/today" method: GET name: Mealie todays meal ID headers: Authorization: Bearer [token] value_template: "{{ value_json[0]['recipe']['id']}}" force_update: true scan_interval: 30 `
3. Validate the yaml configuration and update/restart
4. you should see the new sensors on the 'states' page that continue to pull in today's meal data
5. Check logs for errors, there should no longer be an error when the rest api command runs.

@Shredder5262 can you please share the error message you're getting in HA, and what version of HA you're running? (I didn't see the actual error message here or in Discord) I'm running 2024.4.3, and using the syntax you're saying gives errors, but I haven't seen any in my logs.
