before a mod attempts to fold this into an older topic, hear me out. im just having one heck of a time trying to get this, while incredibly informative, json to post in an eyeball friendly manner. in a list, I’ve gotten it to display a single letter in each list item, display the number of letters …

Are you saying that the same API call using different VIN #s results in uniquely-formatted JSON responses? Or are you just having trouble parsing a single type of JSON response? If it’s the latter, what property, as an example, are you trying to access? Here’s a demo that will give you the Make & M…

Right, there are all sorts of issues that will occur when setting component properties (text, list, etc) to values the component can’t handle. Since Thunkable doesn’t really trap errors, the only way to keep your app stable is to verify the JSON property is of the kind you are expecting. Tedious, …

Curious if my demo was helpful for you? It includes error handling and JSON parsing.

it was! genuinely, mi just on to the next step, which is making them into a list, which involves making substrings and subsists. thank you, genuinely, that basically made my entire project jump forward by quite a bit. I’m actually going to make a demo and post it in a bit!!

I’m going to use your method to do much more useful things, but this is just a data dump, LMK what you think! I’ve been getting vin numbers to test from here: https://vingenerator.org/ aaand here’s the link to the datadump-list app: https://thunkable.site/w/c9WLavecy

the demo tatiang posted was perfect, quite by accident, i figured out this method for just getting the raw info from a large list of objects and their parameters. although, i think, it only works in this 1:1 ratio situation where the list had them listed as one value per-parameter. sorry if the term…

Looks complicated but then JSON always is! If you need more help, let us know. I’m honestly not following everything you’re doing but I can always dig a bit. It helps if you can either show a sketch of what you want (e.g. the values you’re expecting to see in a listviewer) or give a description such…

I’m just trying to get a handle on json… its something that I’ve put off for a while now… the next step is firebase stuff, wish me luck. i literally have half a mind to just use Airtable for the user data stuff, lmao

Well, JSON was a journey for me and now I feel pretty comfortable with it. Firebase was very recent – last couple weeks – and it’s really powerful and not too difficult. I was a fan of Airtable but it has too many issues with Thunkable and Firebase is just way more flexible and quick. The nice thin…

but, from what i understand, i create structures that function like multi layered lists in Microsoft word, and that becomes the structure of the json? in fire base , for example its like group name A. Variable: value B. Variable: value C. Variable: value group name A. Variable: value B. Var…

So… yes to the structure. That’s exactly right. But JSON is not necessary with Firebase (it can be used). You simply use the “Set Cloud variable ‘name’ block” and enter the path to the value as the name of the variable. I can provide a screenshot of blocks later if it’s helpful but you might do som…
