Are you able to view that data using a third-party tool such as Postman? If so, then you should be able to get it to work in Thunkable. But the first step is to make sure it works in Postman. In my experience, Web APIs return JSON text, not streaming media. So if you’re wanting something else, making you’re thinking of a Web Viewer? ---

Well, since APIs can only return text, you would need to return a **url** to a song cover image and then assign that to an Image component’s picture in Thunkable. ---
