A quick google search quickly gave this promising looking result:
[https://www.barcodelookup.com/api](https://www.barcodelookup.com/api)
Haven’t checked it out or tested at all though, but seems straight forward!

Thank you. I tried that but for some reason I do not get the response getting printed.

What type of products are you hoping to scan? Toys? Groceries? Books?

Silly question, but… Are you inputting your own APIkey where it’s asking you to (at the end of the url)?
…And the barcode numerical value…?

Try putting this url in a browser but substitute your own API key:
[https://api.barcodelookup.com/v2/products?barcode=667379967640&formatted=y&key=\*\*APIkey](https://api.barcodelookup.com/v2/products?barcode=667379967640&formatted=y&key=**APIkey)\*\*
What result do you get?
I have a tutorial for using APIs with Thunkable. You might find it useful:

> Using APIs in Thunkable and understanding how to parse JSON to get certain data from the API response is both a popular and a difficult aspect of using Thunkable. It’s not so much difficult because of Thunkable but because every API url format is different, every API documentation is different, every JSON response is different, etc. In this video, I spend a lot of time talking you through some best practices. It’s not a quick tutorial because if you rush through setting up an API in Thunkable, …

Thank you so much Tatiang:)
It worked for me.
Here is the link [Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/485048801154f0e77b29e8a019a5750c) (Thought to share probably it may be helpful for others)

It’s kind of you to share the project but because your API key is in a text block, it’s visible to anyone. You might want to change that.

No problem Tatiang.
Somehow I managed to find [https://www.geoapify.com/geocoding-api](https://www.geoapify.com/geocoding-api) and Places API.
It should work for me I guess:)
