So you’ve told me that you can’t get **any** data from Airtable using the API. **So you either need to fix the authentication, try another table from Airtable, or just scrap the API like I suggested and use Data Source blocks.**

No, the blocks are incorrect. What I meant was to join the url with `random item of list [list of values (Data Source name)]`. You can see an example of the List of Values block in this section of the documentation: [Data Sources - Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/data-sources#read).

As I said, if the 3rd step doesn’t work then you have a problem with that website. I now see that you **are** using the Foodish API as well as the Airtable API. ~~Can you post an example of a working image url from the Foodish API? Even a sample one from their documentation would be fine.~~

**Edit:** the Foodish API site is **down**. I can’t even get to their base url: [https://foodish-api.herokuapp.com](https://foodish-api.herokuapp.com). You’ll need to use something else or contact them to find out why it isn’t working. This has nothing to do with Thunkable.
