Hello,

I’m brand new to this so bear with me. I’m trying to send a photo to a plant ID API and have it return the plant’s name. I’ve watched a bunch of tutorials and asked chat gpt in every way I can and I’m stumped! It keeps coming back as “Null.” My photo seems to be uploading and sending off fine (I’m uploading to cloudinary and then sending the URL to the API).

Here are my blocks:

And here is the formatted JSON:

Would love any insight!

Hey [tonittoscano3281ol](https://community.thunkable.com/u/tonittoscano3281ol), thanks for bringing this to Community! This should be a simple fix - in your first get property of object block, can you replace “result.classification.suggestions[1].name” with just “name”?

Hi @gunnar_lee,

That worked! Wow I had “name” there before and it wasn’t working, and was testing the other format “result.classification.suggestions[1].name” without all the nested blocks and just forgot to change it back. Thanks!
