I am new to Thunkable and trying to correctly extract data from a Web API from AWS. I have scowered the forum but haven’t found much that was able to help me unfortunately. I’m not sure if I am just still a beginner or I am missing something small. Basically I can correctly get the entire response …

Hello, can you try something like this? [Screen Shot 2023-02-26 at 8.49.12 PM]

The “locations” property is returning a list of objects (key:value pairs such as “name”: “string”). The List Viewer component in Thunkable requires a list of text strings. You definitely need to [get object from JSON] from [response] and then from that, [get property “locations” of object]. You’ve …

EDIT 1: Just reread your message and when I output this “You definitely need to [get object from JSON] from [response] and then from that, [get property “locations” of object]. You’ve done that for Alert1’s Title in the screenshot above so that should work to return that list of objects.” - I get [o…

To clarify, with this solution does that mean that every location item in the JSON array will now be in the location list we initialised? I’m trying to extract the data from each item in the list into the list viewer and I keep crashing the app. I’ve tried the following two methods and neither seem …

It’s really hard to know how to answer that because you haven’t posted the full JSON response as text. In your screenshot, you’re showing a “locations” property with only one array/list item but then in your blocks, you’re trying to access list item #2 from “locations.” That would crash the app if t…

i learned something new today: apparently those 2 variables are one and the same - i’ve always thought them as different. (the below prints true) [image]

Yes, they are the same. The [app variable “ “] block allows you to dynamically access variables by name.
