JMWE CallRest - How to capture object returned

Question

New to Nunjucks so please forgive me if this is a stupid question...
In the documentation for CallRest filter, I don't see any examples of capturing the response so that it can be evaluated.  Is that possible?  I don't have a deep understanding of filters yet so I hope I am just missing something simple.

Hi @Margaret Boisvert ,

The callRest filter actually returns the value returned by the REST call, so you can, for example, capture it in a variable:
