Thanks for your response, sir. I checked the link you provided. However, it will help me to get the details of the category displayed under 1 userid. However, I want to get all the stories present under 1 category from all the userid available in my database in one list. Suppose “userA” wrote “story1” under the category Drama from their login account, and “userB” wrote “Story2” under the same category drama from its own login account. Then being the third user, If I click on drama, my list should show this:- Story1 Story2 ---

There is no easy way. You have to go through a loop vetting the key values and retrieving required items. Send the JSON file of your database and I’ll demonstrate a working looping structure. ---

I tried to use the following code but it only works if the category i.e., Fantasy, Drama, etc. is available in the first userid, then it will show the whole list irrespective of the userid, else will show nothing. ![datajson](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/8/a8144a801776e1168466f4ce1597fdd2bb49eed4.png) ---

What you attempted is right. You just need another loop inside the main loop. ---

What will be the value of that loop? ---
