@imponiaamanl6pe, Welcome to the Community! Can you share the blocks you used to call the web api? In particular, the URLs you are using. Of course, you should hide any API keys. ---

Hmmm, I am not able to access that resource. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/7/e77e36a36b0a3ff8edcf4d66c1bbe3c69651b0ad.png) Server/Hosting permissions are NOT my long suit. In fact, they are all but a complete mystery to me. But my experience using the Firebase Emulator and thunkable has been that Thunkable Web can access local host resource, while apps cannot. This makes me wonder if perhaps the machine you are using the web Live Test on has permissons to [https://youngmanbeta.com/testandroid](https://youngmanbeta.com/testandroid), but [https://youngmanbeta.com/testandroid](https://youngmanbeta.com/testandroid) is not a public site. Again, I apologize, I don’t really understand how permissons work. Hopefully some of the other power thunkers can help you. ---

You are right. `https://youngmanbeta.com` requires authentication and therefore you need more input in the URL if the site permits. ---

Thanks for the updated URL. I get the WORKING message on my android brower, but Thunkable Live Test on Android fails. I also verified the updated URL works on Web and iOS (images not shown). Unfortunately, I don’t have much more to add to the discussion. I would recommend you reach out to Thunkable using the Chatbot on the Project Design page AND log an issue in [GitHub](https://github.com/thunkable/thunkable-issues/issues). ![Screenshot_20210109-044433_Thunkable](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/d/7d755a3aafb7866903972ac5381147695c8eb854.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20210109-044501_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/a/5a04b87fb812a34142fcb530f49a9b31d6912ad4.jpeg) ---

Sorry, had one more observation. I tried adding a webviewer to the screen to see if that would be able to access the URL. When I add the webviewer, the web API also starts working. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/5/35d30849005b28f9126a80d002b0954ccdd7320c.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/e/7ed9bf0efa6b032d18122e8be422137fe4375be9.png) Obviously this is not a fix, but it may be helpful to add to your GitHub ticket and act as a work around until Thunkable addresses the issue. One other possibility to try might be to return a JSON message instead of straight text. Again, Thunkable SHOULD still work, but perhaps that change might work on android. Total W.A.G. ---

From your blocks you also seem to have an “LoginScreen”, is there an authentication part to this too? Thanks ---

I’m sure you have been “googling” the internet for solutions, but here was a promising article [https://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-ssl](https://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-ssl). Best of luck! ---

In my case, the Network Request Failed error was fixed on my apache web server: grep SSLUseStapling /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/common.conf #SSLUseStapling on → must be set to off, as linux vm does not have external access SSLUseStapling off Interestingly, this parameter only impacted Android 13 and above. ---
