Your data output is already in JSON format. ---

Use Web API component and the `response` green block will have your data. Place your URL in the URL property of the Web API component and execute the GET command to get your data. ---

For us to be able to check whether or not it works, we would need the full URL. Please see this tutorial information and video that I made: > [@API JSON Tutorial (Video)](https://community.thunkable.com/t/api-json-tutorial-video/1140575): > > Using APIs in Thunkable and understanding how to parse JSON to get certain data from the API response is both a popular and a difficult aspect of using Thunkable. It’s not so much difficult because of Thunkable but because every API url format is different, every API documentation is different, every JSON response is different, etc. In this video, I spend a lot of time talking you through some best practices. It’s not a quick tutorial because if you rush through setting up an API in Thunkable, … ---

You should always include the full error response verification in your webapi calls. I created a test app with just the following in it to verify api calls outside my main app ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/8/4897c912e247b8f1611e3328b9aaa95491b17cb9.png) Sometimes there is an error code which means there is no response block ---

> [@gcesar.sotodi1u](#): > > im going to see it, but, any fast idea? Nope! This takes time to figure out. Watch my video, then provide the info I suggested in that post. If you have some blocks you’ve tried after that that aren’t working, post a screenshot. But if you take shortcuts, it’s probably not going to work. ---

@gcesar.sotodi1u I tried the URL you provided and it is a list of tickets or something like this. I made this quick app to get the data ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/7/b7824b72d47fe5535627e49618dc06a6b8516ad2.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/9/19305be3ac0878e2fd3046adb6a2418668e51005.png) This will show the first 3 tickets from the list.

You are trying to run your app from the Web Live Test. This will not work. Run it from the Thunkable Live App in your mobile phone. ---
