Check it. It is made invalid by the absence of quotes from [] brackets. All values ​​and fields must be in quotes. [https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5be1b3f1a5d83bac65ea1e25/project/properties/designer/](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5be1b3f1a5d83bac65ea1e25/project/properties/designer/) ---

I was in a hurry so I made a lot of extra blocks. It will be better this way. ![%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/f/2fd0ca14afafe076b0a459074784af99b68031b2.png) Yes, it would be better to find a good API. ---

Hi there, I’m trying to use web api to GET posts and custom types from my website www.areepicnic.it When I use this url: [https://www.areepicnic.it/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/](https://www.areepicnic.it/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/) to GET all posts published, I can’t use any of properties retrived. What is the name of the array? I would like to know how can I put result in a List view or how to create a list of posts with thumbnail, excerpt, date etc. If I use this url: [https://www.areepicnic.it/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/2572](https://www.areepicnic.it/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/2572) (single post) I can see all properties and use them in “get property of object” block. There is something wrong in json parsing operation. Could you help me? Thank you very much. ---
