HTTP Get -> Sensor in Home Assistant

Third party integrations
1

Hi!

I’ve used Home Assistant for about a year now and I love it. I’m still a bit of a novice in terms of coding though.

This http get request: http://10.0.60.200:50001/v1/presentation/active?chunked=false

returns the following information:

  "presentation": {
    "id": {
      "uuid": "F3086479-78DC-42E5-AA9A-1A4AC2D6B633",
      "name": "Mission Moment Peterson Update",
      "index": 4294967295
    },
    "groups": [
      {
        "name": "Video",
        "color": {
          "red": 0.701960784313725,
          "green": 0,
          "blue": 0.266666666666667,
          "alpha": 1
        },
        "slides": [
          {
            "enabled": true,
            "notes": "",
            "text": "",
            "label": "",
            "size": {
              "width": 1920,
              "height": 1080
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "has_timeline": false,
    "presentation_path": "/Users/2015propresenter/Documents/ProPresenter/Libraries/Default/Mission Moment Peterson Update.pro",
    "destination": "presentation"
  }
}

How can I write an automation that starts whenever this HTTP Get group name equals “Video” (as shown above)

Is there any integration that helps with this? Still trying to learn APIs. I can provide documentation from the source I’m trying to use if needed, but it’s a niche program.

I’ve been using Home assistant for like 6 years and have never had a need to query the API.
If you are not a strong coder, why are you doing this?
Certainly there is a better to do whatever it is.

To actually help you it would be good to know what you are trying to accomplish.
