Hello! In my app, I’m trying to get a list from realtime DB. I used these blocks. At first, It worked perfectly fine, but then it stopped. When I check the list with “labelforchecking”, it returns “[object Object]”. How can I change it? ![forask](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/7/17f66ebda1fc8381932b428bd9c066d6e1853e62.png) ![forask2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/d/5d06e195b5418fe76fd731fb209be82bb705c448.png)

It means you are retrieving an object or a list. Use the block get JSON from object to convert it to text and show it in the label.

It returns this data. How can I retrieve every object separately? I’m new to this concept, so I have no idea how to do it( Thank you in advance!

See this from your data

**[Edit]**  
Please note that I started with the JSON format and therefore had to convert it to object to be able to use it. For you it is already in **object** form and you do not need these steps
