Hello there, I’m currently creating an app as part of a project I’m working on. One of the functions of the app is to scan barcodes of food products and return information such as the brand name, item name and item description and give a health alert warning if the product in question may potential…

This is a long post but discusses the same idea. It should be a good start for you. [image] How to create nutrition app with ocr scanner? Questions about Thunkable Hi! I wanted help creating a nutrition app. I want my app to use an ocr scanner but instead of giving a decr…

Hey @digitaldiaryofmscbvq :wave: One suggestion for you to quickly up your API skills would be to check out academy.thunkable.com where we have several tutorials teaching you how to use apis in your app! Here’s a starter tutorial [image] Setting Headers And a …

Hopefully the tutorials are helpful to you. You mention you’re a complete beginner and that your deadline is fast approaching but that you’re only on the early stages of coding. That information seems in conflict! You’ve chosen a project that’s fairly difficult so you may need more time than you ha…

i got a sample json response from rapidapi using endpoint 'get upc scan). i also have a sample response for the end point ‘get food search’ (see below) i read the post of @digitaldiaryofmscbvq again - he’s doing a upc scan. {42 items "old_api_id":NULL "item_id":"51c3d84097c3e6d8d3b54c95" "item…

The API doesn’t return valid JSON. The necessary data is clearly there but I’m not sure how to access it without having a valid JSON response. It needs to look more like this: {"item_id":"5e4254d33249841a7f09bfc6", "item_name":"Organic French Fried Onions", "brand_id":"51db37b1176fe9790a898469", "…

the initial response i got was from the rapidapi playground - i don;t know why it came that way - split unappropriately at the quote marks! i coded the call and got this directly after a call from thunkable blocks. it looks better: {"old_api_id":null,"item_id":"611a6dd237e00600080fc2f6","item_na…

this is all you need for processing the response: [image]

Your JSON response is OK. It seems that you are pasting the output of a JSON Formatter web page. Just remove the first comment inserted by the JSON Formatter (42 items) and add the comma between each key:value pair to get it back the way it should be. The last change is to convert NULL to lowercase…

Ah! I couldn’t get it to work after removing “42 items” and adding commas after each value. I knew “NULL” was the problem but didn’t know the solution. Well done!

I totally understand. I was initially supposed to have a mentor helping me in all this however, The mentor themselves aren’t familiar with what I was trying to do so I was kind of left on my own to figure everything out. I wish I had reached out here sooner! Thank you all so much for all the respon…
