Hi, I’m a beginner on Adalo, creating a photo sharing app like IG. I want to add Giphy collection so users can upload Gifs instead of their own pictures. I’m having a difficulty connecting the Giphy API though I went through this similar Q&A. [https://forum.adalo.com/t/error-get-all-api-request-call/21634](https://forum.adalo.com/t/error-get-all-api-request-call/21634) Especially, I’m not sure what to do with “the result keys” or don’t have a good idea on what the endpoints mean. The attached is the error message and my input. Any advice is welcome! Thanks in advance. ![Screen Shot 2022-02-07 at 11.19.12 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/c/8/c8bd5d8f226b764c37cdbd1e9ad832fa19c7d158.png) ![Screen Shot 2022-02-07 at 11.19.38 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/1/8/1808323662f44e5f3564f91d6901dc87789a3d06.png) ---

Fabio, thanks for your question! I added nothing yet. Should add anything? ---

sure @yudai, when you select logged-in user → search criteria and click in the pencil icon you can put a value to use for the request ---

Hi Yudai, I think the issue is you didn’t put a test value here. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/9/6/967b6e1f622b0f48174172aaf3fcc2d7d44fa4be.png) A video of how I connected it. > **[GIPHY.mp4](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nan4cBrqeWDue9JamkEtQVC5ivXthvdU/view?usp=sharing)** > > Google Drive file.

@FabioAdaloC Thanks a lot for you guys. Actually, it worked out! Fantastic! It’s my first time to build an app on my own, but it’s been super fun journey. Again, thanks a lot for your help:) ---
