Hey @chayungkul_k4r
Do you mean for the WebAPI component?
This allows you to use HTTP.
Can you tell us a little more about the app that you are trying to build?
Thanks!

Hey,
You can’t track people. If you want to track People you have to track their Devices.

I looked at the documentation for gper [http://developer.catchloc.com/](http://developer.catchloc.com/) and I do not think Thunkable can work with this device. Thunkable can communicate to other services using web based REST APIs. Gpers does not look like it has a web rest api

I am very confused about web rest api.
Is it a website that we have to get information about?
