Help with possibly adding a feature in my app

[jacobp203g05bbw]

im trying to build a deck building app for a trading card game called flesh and blood and so far im using airtable to store the images of pictures and names of cards but I want to include filters so when people are searching for cards in the app , they wont have to go through a whole list. does anyone know how I can include that or which resources I should refer to. is there a database I should use instead of airtable or will airtable work to make a filter?

Airtable works great for this but you’ll need to use their filterByFormula API commands.

Check this post (and thread) too.

The AirTable API (a more efficient way to integrate AirTable with Thunkable)

Hey Guy! Check this one out. This works perfectly for me and returns only females over the age of 28 [Screen Shot 2021-12-14 at 12.28.44 PM] [Screen Shot 2021-12-14 at 12.29.32 PM] [IMG_477784981CF9-1]

im trying to make it where I list the names of the cards, when someone presses it shows the image on a separate screen. that so far has been working and then I tried doing it with the filter based whats under the field class. when I tried it , it looks like it returned something line by line instead of how I want it to look.can anyone help me fix this? I attached a picture of the table im referencing, how I want it to look and how it looks with my current attempt on making a filter

The response (green response block) you get from the AirTable API is going to be formatted as JSON. It’s not a list that you can assign to a list viewer as you’ve done.

You’ll need to parse the JSON text. The best thing to do is to assign the green response block to a Text Input’s Text and then preview the project. Copy the response from the Text Input field and post it here. It’s best to “bookend” the text with ``` above it and ``` below it. That will retain the correct formatting on the forums. Then I can suggest the best way to get the data you need in a list format.

i wasnt able to put in a text input , but it worked for a label. i will just link the project as well in case that helps

Here’s a modified version that puts the JSON response in a Text Input at the top of the screen and displays the list of names in the List Viewer:

This is the JSON response when formatted at Best JSON Viewer and JSON Beautifier Online with the properties path to the “Name” property shown at the top:
