Hi @tony.ycy.program, are you just sharing how to do something or do you have a question?

Your blocks aren’t going to work because the “sentences” property is a list (known as a JSON array). You need to get the first list item of “sentences” and then get the “trans” property from that.

When you see [1], that means there is a single array item. That item doesn’t have a property name “0”… that’s just a list index. It counts up from 0… 1… 2… etc.

A shortcut is to get the property name “sentences[1].trans” from the JSON object. [See this](https://community.thunkable.com/t/api-json-tutorial-video/1140575/15).
