Hey guys! This is my first community post and I’ve already made a few Thunkable apps that I plan on sharing after they’re pushed to apple and google play. This is a great platform and was honestly one of the best / easiest ways to learn to code. I’ve been making apps for about 3 weeks now, and I’m at the point where I’m not able to find a few answers that I’m looking for. That being said, I was wondering if anyone knows if it’s possible in Thunkable to get a text from a top search result from google, bring the data back to the app in a variable, and do what I want with it. I’ve been looking into web API’s etc, and I am currently learning about JSON and how it works. I didnt know if there were search engine API’s I could use to get the data that I need and bring it into the app. Then after I do that I need to seperate the words into a variable list of text (strings). This is a huge question and I’m not expecting to get a specific answer but in general I’m just wondering if something like this is possible in Thunkable, or if I would have to switch platforms to Android Studio to be able to achieve this result. Thanks to any replies in advance. ---

Hey @foltzllc, this is possible, and not so complicated if you have a little experience with JSON. You can use Google Custom Search API. It’s easy to use(I’ve used it). You can first get started by getting your API key from [here](https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview). In case you face any trouble, you can always post on the Community. ---

Hey thanks for the reply! I was doing a little more digging. I actually want to make an AI version of myself that will be around after I am dead. My original plan was to use google search API, get the top search text answers, convert it to a list of strings, then have a series MP4 video that correlates with every word in perfect order. I just found out about the assistant option in thinkable. I wonder if I can get response from the diagflow assistant converted into text somehow and use it to achieve what I want. ---
