Hi, I need assistance in extracting the values display under property “long\_name” under “address\_components” list; so I can get the enterie address base on a latitude and logitude values; I’m using the location sensor component and a web api from google maps Thanks, the json that comes out of the google geocoding api is: { “plus\_code” : { “compound\_code” : “RHR3+98 Santa Lucia, El Salvador”,

Hey @boris.hernandez thanks for sharing 👍 The [object blocks](https://docs.thunkable.com/objects) are able to do exactly what you need. Also, we have a great playlist with API resources you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/embed/rUnWhwHHmO4?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=PLB89L9PPGIry11IQq0dyVG_aK6kUMHP1F Hope that helps! ---

Hi Boris. Did you work out a solution to this problem? I am facing the same issues and could also use some help. ---

Before using the object blocks, I would normally use “Json editor” to view exactly where the info I wanted to extract resides, especially with nested levels. Cut and paste the whole JSON and it will present the data in readable objects levels. Then you can use the object blocks with the correct properties to access the data. Note that some of the data are contained in square brackets, those are in a “list” so you need to use list blocks to read them.
