Welcome to Thunkable! You can Google _json thunkable_ for examples of how to do this.

You can also search #thunkable-cross-tutorials for “json” and it gives you 9 pretty comprehensive examples.

@wasanthestarg0yozk Is the data from the URL always going to just be a number or could it possibly be some more complex JSON?

Hi, @wasanthestarg0yozk! 👋

This is how you would do it, if you just want to get that _4.6025 …_ on a label -

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/8/088a4008cea8c2a824e95f9e296d7523e82b5c34.png)

(I have used a `textInput`, you can switch to a label)

Hope I helped you! 👍  
Thanks! 😊

You have to run the Get block again.

Could the get block be put into a loop with a delay? Maybe refresh ever second or at some predetermined interval

Hi, @wasanthestarg0yozk! 👋

Looping without error may cause an error If the server puts a limit on requests per minute/second. Maybe not though! Give it a try and report back!!

Graphs in thunkable are limited at best. @actech has a working demonstration in his 2020 Demo app. I use [quickchart.io](http://quickchart.io) and can share how I do that if you would like.

The issue lies with showing graphs in the webviewer on iOS. I can get graphs to work on android phones very easy using the google. for some the graphs dont show on my phone.

quickchart on the other hand, produces a png or jpg image that is displayed instead of the graph needing to be drawn on the phone using javascript

@wasanthestarg0yozk It’s very easy.

@jared Same pinch!  
Whenever I require graphs, I too use [quickchart.io](http://quickchart.io)! 😄

It’s very easy, and minimal charts are provided too.

More info on this would be, the image can be produced through just a URL - and Thunkable’s images support direct-URL images 👍

We could help you on formatting your data for URL. 😊

Thanks! 😊
