- platform: rest
    name: "BlueIris 10 last Alert list"
    resource: "http://xxxxxxxxxx:8080/rest/items/BlueIris_Alert_List?metadata=.%2A&recursive=true"
    method: GET
    authentication: basic
    value_template: "{{ value_json.state}}"
    json_attributes_path: "state"
    json_attributes:
      - state
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json
    force_update: true
    scan_interval: 3
    unique_id: "1234.BlueIris 10 last Alert list"

Post the json instead.
The trick is probably to read the elements in that and then populate state and attributes based by that.

I think you want something like this:

    value_template: "{{ now() }}"
    json_attributes_path: "$"
    json_attributes:
      - state

If that doesn’t solve it, do what Wally says and post the JSON you’re getting from the URL (properly formatted, like you did with your code: just copy/paste from a browser into this thread), explaining which bit of it you want.
