Making a variable of a string, from an api?

[ericmillersfbay]

Trying to do something like this:

sensor 2:

• platform: rest name: get linus videoid resource: https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key="youtube api key without quotes"&channelId=UCXuqSBlHAE6Xw-yeJA0Tunw&part=snippet,id&order=date&maxResults=1 value_template: '{{value_json.items.id.videoId}}' switch 2:
• platform: command_line switches: linus_tech_tips: command_on: "curl -X POST http://10.0.0.171:8060/launch/837?contentID={{states.sensor.get_linus_videoid}}&MediaType=live"

Would this component be able to do something like this? I need to set a variable to a string from the youtube api, then call it in the curl post.

This allows me to pull the video id of the newest video on a channel then play it directly on my tv.
