How to make a simple http request with rest?

Configuration
1

Hello,

I have an ip camera perfectly streaming in lovelace.
But I need to use more PTZ commands

I tried to modify my config file to add a rest command and both methods (with credentials included or not in the URL don’t work

What did I do wrong ?

#HTTP request
rest_command:
  cam_hide:
    url: 'http://admin:[email protected]/cgi-bin/ptz.cgi?action=start&channel=0&code=GotoPreset&arg1=0&arg2=2&arg3=0'

  cam_main:
    url: 'http://192.168.1.70/cgi-bin/ptz.cgi?action=start&channel=0&code=GotoPreset&arg1=0&arg2=2&arg3=0'
    username: admin
    password: password

Service is OK :

But I get this error, why the credentials disappeared from the URL ?

Of course if there is another way to do that (whatever the method), please tell me your method.

I just need to change the camera preset depending of my presence at home.

This post seems to have similar urls to yours, maybe have a look there ?
