[Solved] Using web api. Get value from JSON?

I have just started toying with this feature I have a json file and i have put together and pulled apart many blocks trying to get this to work and feeling a little lost and overwhelmed, can anyone assist?

The link returns the following for me:

JSON Viewer

Inputting this into a json pathfinder gives me:
Path = x.bpi.USD.rate
JSON Path Finder

In short, remove bitcoin and chartName.

I have removed those and no luck. Any chance of seeing some code that might help? :slight_smile:

Here is what works perfectly for me:

I am using the url you provided without any need for a token.

THANK YOU
I really appreciate the effort you went to for this response, you are indeed a legend :). I put this together and came up with an issue that has been pestering for a while, list viewer when pulling data from anywhere results in a white screen. So i pulled the blocks apart and glued them back together and somehow it is working without getting a white screen.

Thank You again @jared.

Starting to owe you a few beers mate. :slight_smile:
