> 1. Try changing the variable **Vaue** to null instead of true while defining it. (Perhaps Value is its name) > 2. Try getting the error part of the output and display it in a separate label from the Web API Get function. > 3. Check if your API key is correct or not. ---

Does the full url in your API Get call work in a browser (outside of Thunkable)? If so, post the full JSON response you’re getting **as text** (not a screenshot) and we can see if the way you’re parsing it is correct. If it works in a browser, what happens if you set a text input’s text to the green response block? Can you copy the value that is displayed and paste it here? ---

@muneer’s project works correctly with my free API key: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/d/6d467b746b4b723405d1c8eab1edae1e66f5a6d3.png) But I’m confused now… are your blocks working for you or not? Part of the problem may be that you are assigning a boolean type (true) to the app variable Vaue and then later assigning it a text string type from the API response. Using multiple types in a single variable can cause problems. Try removing the [true] block from the [initialize] block and see if that helps. You’ve also removed the **list** block that @muneer told you you needed! 🤔 Also, it’s hard to help you because you never answered my questions: > [@tatiang](#): > > Does the full url in your API Get call work in a browser (outside of Thunkable)? If so, post the full JSON response you’re getting **as text** (not a screenshot) and we can see if the way you’re parsing it is correct. > > If it works in a browser, what happens if you set a text input’s text to the green response block?
