I am trying to utilize a Google Maps “Text Search” API with my Thunkable App. It seems I am unable to generate a response from the API though clearly when I go to the URL (see below) there is a response there:
[https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=chipotle%2015222&key=AIzaSyCHsVSIIEPl0pfKJbECykBGZT26UB8AZxg](https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=chipotle%2015222&key=AIzaSyCHsVSIIEPl0pfKJbECykBGZT26UB8AZxg)
The link to my project is here: [Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/d2c1b2d8829b5263070cb9174de6d4b2)
My API key is already embedded in the API URL I pasted above.
So my goal is just to return the “Formatted Address” from the API and display those in my List Viewer.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Steve

Assuming the `Web API` works, this block should fail
The response from the API has 3 main JSON blocks
- html\_attributions
- results
- status
You are trying to loop through these keys and get the property of `result` from property `formatted_address` which does not exist in the response.

I updated my project, here is the updated link: [Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/9107f29f10ad73a1157795cdcd387432)
What I am looking to do is get nested objects. As you will see in the response, formatte\_address is a nested object within the results array. I found some documentation on Thunkable’s website on how to return nested objects: [Objects - Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/objects#nested-values-and-values-from-arrays) but still I am seeing “Null” for my API response. Could you advise?

See my response from your project
This is the blocks I used
I added a label just to show the error if available.
