** Update - it looks like they removed the Social Blade integration, so this looks like the only way to get YouTube Data into Home Assistant now**
Hey everyone!! As I said in the video this is part 1 of a series on communicating with APIs and displaying data in Home Assistant. Now in this video, I show you how to explore an API and set up the calls to retrieve data and place it in a sensor in Home Assistant. In this example, I am pulling from the YouTube API and displaying the subscriber and view count from a YouTube channel.
Let me know if there is an API you need help with. Part 2 should be coming next week.
❓What future topics would you like me to cover??❓
