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

Here is what works perfectly for me:

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.
