right now -it’s specific for kuala lumpur, malaysia only. the button performs the lookup. today’s date is always taken, in the current month. here’s my output ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/7/075cf5dd9ee05330891d45d6280a8ee3fc5ee05b.png) here’s the link to the program (go to screen named PrayerTime) [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/191fcb46b99362b7978400b30f89375d](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/191fcb46b99362b7978400b30f89375d) here’s the code: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/4/8409397af789be64bd4ef4045aa7dbaba620c8e4.png) ---

Hi @manyone I tried simulating the block again, but it did not appear to work on my end. Maybe you can show me which part I am doing wrong. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/1/d1594e3a24988fcc11ac130033b4d4894f99985e.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/0/50ab33077de76644c00669352ba9f40b6be7655b.png) [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/daf5eb4d4a61ce7d0383163c80b20696](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/daf5eb4d4a61ce7d0383163c80b20696) ---

Your Web API url is different from @manyone’s. Not sure if that’s causing the problem but it might. **Edit:** I tried your url in @manyone’s project and it still worked. ---

thanks to @tatiang for responding to your issue. as he mentioned, your new url still works in my blocks, but the results are probably not what you expect. it happens to work because the 2 api calls have the same required parameters. > [http://api.aladhan.com/v1/calendarByCity/2024/3?city=...&country=](http://api.aladhan.com/v1/calendarByCity/2024/3?city=...&country=)… > [http://api.aladhan.com/v1/hijriCalendarByCity/2024/3?city=...&country=](http://api.aladhan.com/v1/hijriCalendarByCity/2024/3?city=...&country=)… in version1, the year and month are obtained from the device automatically. However in version 2, the year and month are supposed to be valid values from the hijri calendar and the webapp may have converted the numbers to a different year and month! look at the dates displayed by calling a differen url **version 1 calendarByCity** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/3/13aa3f2a99e1fb422405c5fdc211b84bd9f2fc32.png) **version2 hijriCalendarByCity** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/4/5475dcefc067ae7d2743bbe954a9a05bd6b0d122.png) i suggest you stick to version 1 only > [http://api.aladhan.com/v1/calendarByCity/2024/3?city=](http://api.aladhan.com/v1/calendarByCity/2024/3?city=). i ---

change url up to this sentence right? “[http://api.aladhan.com/v1/calendarByCity/](http://api.aladhan.com/v1/calendarByCity/)” or full url? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/0/40ace92ceec75290834a360e586b884e6206fa84.png) still not work from my end. ---

Simple. Create a new routine, call it get\_timing\_text, copy from get\_timing2 but simply return the “get property…” value of the timing. Do not use the join block. if you want to show the timings on screen in their own box, you have to do this statement below for one label , for example sunrise. (you have to convert to block, of course) Set label\_sunrise = get\_timing\_text(“sunrise”) And do that for every timing you want (you have to define all labels first and put them in the screen where you want, of course) Then you can delete the 'for each item" block. You can do it ---
