I’m attempting to use a foods database found here:
But I’m having trouble filling out all the correct information for my API call. Can anyone help me out?
Hi @mrentrekin,
You need to use the foods search?
And then get the response through a external collection and display in a list?
Thank you

Any chance you could make a two minute video? Thanks for these! I’ll attempt to parse through them later if you can’t!
For sure! Here’s what I did : Food API.mp4 on Vimeo
The website URL to get the API Key : FoodData Central
API Base URL : https://api.nal.usda.gov/fdc/v1/foods/search
I literally followed the entire video! And I still can’t retrieve it! Can I add you as a team member and you can tell me what I’m doing wrong?
Adding you now! It’s 100% bare bones at the moment because I wanted to get that down before I did anything else, and I need that to be able to journal. Also, I couldn’t set it up to look at errors because the test keeps failing!

So I’m actually asking you to set it up for me, since I can’t save any attempt for you to review. If you have a website or something I can donate 
Last thing! I’ll drop the api_key in a user property named that!
I was going to message you for this but you sent it now 
Telepathy 
The setup that I made in the video right?
Yeah, please! Thanks man!

Give a refresh to the editor and check the app!
Dude! You’re amazing! Why do you think it’s only populating the A’s? Just the sheer volume? I tried to import a csv instead of using API, but it was too big a file.
Did’t get it 
Could you explain a bit more?
Also, I feel like I followed your instructions! Crazy that it didn’t work but yours did
You need more items?
I’m guessing that you didn’t added the result key. But anyway that it’s working now!

Hey,
I am actually facing the same issue, I got News APi from Newsapi.org and it only calls one news repeating again and again.
