I followed along with a YouTube tutorial since I have no experience with any API’s and every output I get is “null”. What am I doing wrong? ---

Welcome to Thunkable! That’s a pretty complicated JSON response. I can see why you’re having trouble with it. I recommend watching my API JSON Tutorial video as it explains how to parse JSON responses: [API JSON Tutorial (Video)](https://community.thunkable.com/t/api-json-tutorial-video/1140575) Looking at the JSON response in [Best JSON Viewer and JSON Beautifier Online](https://codebeautify.org/jsonviewer), I think you can just get the property “[1].meanings[1].definitions[1].definition” of object `app variable JSONTEXT`. Let me know if that works for you. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/3/934fc326f0402032a27adc78acf7e2f7fcf4b24f.png) ---
