Hi,

I am trying to get a count on the number of items in a JSON object -

`[{"name":"Jayden Yates"," ___class":"roll"},{"name":"Jenna Zane","___ class":"roll"},{"name":"Jeremiah Anderson"," ___class":"roll"},{"name":"Jessica Bailey","___ class":"roll"},{"name":"John Chambers"," ___class":"roll"},{"name":"Jonathan Dixon","___ class":"roll"},{"name":"Jordan Ellis"," ___class":"roll"},{"name":"Joseph Fletcher","___ class":"roll"},{"name":"Joshua Gonzalez"," ___class":"roll"},{"name":"Joy Hayes","___ class":"roll"}]`

JSON viewer shows the path as

 ![2024-11-27 21 43 13](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/8/88a7ee201b333befc95e1eadea5d7274ec219a5c.png)

If I get the length of the response it shows as 865.

In the Get Property of Object block I have tried array.name, name, array.name, array[0].name of response but get 0 for all.

Would appreciate any assistance.

Thanks  
Steve

I formatted the JSON you posted using the \</\> button in the toolbar so it was valid for using with [Best JSON Viewer and JSON Beautifier Online](https://codebeautify.org/jsonviewer). The first word “array” in your screenshot is not a property name. It just means the JSON starts with an array/list. This works to give you the size of the array (10 items).
