Hello,

Has anyone put some code together to access a JSON file stored on Google Drive, that I could re-use for my app?

I noticed Av\_Creators6 offered to help Gnanesh023 but he never posted it.

Thank you in advance for your help. It is very much appreciated.

– John

Google “ how to serve a Json file with GitHub”

Follow those instructions and you’ll be able to access the file like any other api served json

Hi Jared,

I appreciate the answer. It seems that this is just to access a Github hosted file… Am I wrong?

I was specifically looking for an example of a Thunkable app that opens and accesses a JSON structured file on a Google drive location.

Does that help?

Thanks!  
John

accessing files in a google drive require special authentication and are harder than what i am describing. I’m sure it could be done though.
