Hi! The app I’m making involves using a dictionary api, but I’m unsure of what JSON blocks to use in order to get the value definition from this JSON. Could someone please help me with the blocks required? [ { "word": "hello", "phonetics": [ { …

Yes, that’s what I was suggesting. Okay, I see now that it’s from the Google Dictionary API ( https://dictionaryapi.dev ). [image] It’s returning an array so the first block has to get the first list item of the response. Use these blocks: [image]

First, import/rebuild the JSON Formatter Function to get a better sense for how the data is organized. That should help you see how all of the nested levels are organized. Next import/rebuild the JSON Dictionary Functions (no relation to this dictionary). That way you won’t have to use nested get p…

Thank you very much for your help! My question my have seemed silly, but JSON was and is not one of my strong points. Thanks again to all of you!

Since there are sometimes more than one definition for a word, is it possible to display them all in a list viewer? I’m also showing part of speech, and synonyms. How do I make it so that I can display all of them together, for each definition of the word? Thanks

You’d have to create a list by looping through the get property of object “definitions” blocks and taking their “definition” property. Then, assign that list to a listviewer’s text items.

I’m thinking of cloning the columns so that all the definitions and related information are visible for each definition of the word.
