When I paste your JSON into [Best JSON Viewer and JSON Beautifier Online](https://codebeautify.org/jsonviewer), it says it’s not valid JSON. Can you assign the green `response` block to a Text Input’s Text and then copy and paste the full response again into a post here?

If you haven’t seen my JSON tutorial, it’s a good starting point for learning to parse JSON: [API JSON Tutorial (Video)](https://community.thunkable.com/t/api-json-tutorial-video/1140575)

And actually, I think the fix is to get the “Details” property from the object and _then_ get the “Items” property of the 1st list item from that and then get the “ID” property from that. Or, you can just get the property “Details.Items[1].ID” as a shortcut and you don’t need the list block or multiple `get property of object` blocks.
