Missed comma between flow collection entries

Configuration

Hi there, I want to create a sensor that spits out the current price of electrical power. My power company conveniently provides this code:

sensor:
- platform: rest
name: "momentaner Strompreis (Verbrauch)"
unit_of_measurement: "ct/kWh"
resource: https://i.spottyenergie.at/api/yaddayaddaAPIcall
value_template: >-
{% set now = now() %}
{% set ns = namespace(last_price=None) %}
{% if value_json %}
{% for item in value_json %}
{% if item.from | as_datetime < now %}
{% set ns.last_price = item.price %}
{% else %}
{% break %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{{ ns.last_price }}

HA returns:

missed comma between flow collection entries (19:2)

16 | unit_of_measurement: “ct/kWh”
17 | resource: https://i.spottyenergi …
18 | value_template: >-
19 | {% set now = now() %}
-------^
20 | {% set ns = namespace(last_price …

I did try ‘xx’ the meaty part, also double brackets, to no avail. Where is the mistake? Thanks!

Is that really what they shared with you?

Because the correct indentation (which is important in YAML) is missing.
