I just posted a tutorial that explains how to parse JSON. I recommend watching it:

> [@API JSON Tutorial (Video)](https://community.thunkable.com/t/api-json-tutorial-video/1140575):

> 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, …

The “main” property is a container for several other properties. Technically speaking, it’s an object rather than a name:value pair. So what you have is a start but it’s not correct. In the video, I explain how to traverse the JSON hierarchy and find the correct properties and their associated blocks.
