Hi @shahdiva075w1eo, welcome to Thunkable! Please see my tutorial video and post about how to ask for help with APIs: > [@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, … One thing I mention is that it’s helpful if you post the URL you are using and also the full text of a sample JSON response. I would be surprised if you could get a property from the JSON response that contains any text you type into a text input component. So that’s at least one thing that will need to change. That kind of information would usually be included in the URL itself. The other thing to keep in mind when troubleshooting something like this is to put each data value into a separate label and make sure they are what you expect them to be. So that means checking the value of the longitude and latitude before worrying about whether or not they work in a Map component. And also doing error checking. My video explains that as well. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.thunkable.com/t/get-co-ordinates-from-a-physical-address/1167055)._
