I can look at it but I’ll need the full JSON response in order to help you! You can put the API url in a browser and copy and paste from there.
Without that, I have no idea if your blocks are correct because I can’t see the structure of the JSON.

Have you gotten this working in a browser yet? If not, then you shouldn’t be working in Thunkable yet. The first step is to make sure you can get a valid JSON response in a browser.
Because this doesn’t look like it’s going to work to me:

The user’s input will contain spaces and I think that will break the url.
But even if that works – and it may – **you’re using zero for the list index and that isn’t valid in Thunkable**. Try 1 instead. See the last part of this post:

By the way, your code (with [1] as list indexes) works fine on a mobile device. It just fails in a browser. Many APIs don’t in a browser with Thunkable.
⚠ I would recommend removing your API key from screenshots and project links unless you want people to use it!

You should be able to edit your post. Click on the 3 dots and then on the pencil.
