My app won’t display the text for labels which are being set by a GET from a web API component. I think it’s an issue with my security settings as it’s a public API that I’m accessing. That said, I’m not 100% confident that security settings are the actual issue. Below is the block for the GET call - you’ll see how data from the JSON is parsed and populates the variables which set the text for the labels. ![component-block](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/8/4834846d4133ea1120f4348a864334ecde560d76.png) Below are the security settings on the component and details from the API. ![api-details](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/a/0a27ccbb397aeeeec20c5bcdd4096c76db65938b.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/e/de965a773130daf27ad197c8ed373b223b36b224.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/e/de94ca2f05c80039b2ef89b34f77ab8be3befb5d.png) Can anyone provide me with some advice as to how to get this all to work? ---
