Hello guys! I did the case after beatiful Robert’s video about Address autocomplete by Fetchcolumn & Geoapify, but unfirtunately it seems this API works just a few times. I made everything described, and even start to test. But after a few success attempts it started to return nothing to Glide( What’s a secret? Is it bag from API or from Glide FetchColumn? I checked by [Best JSON Viewer and JSON Beautifier Online](https://codebeautify.org/jsonviewer), and there are: statusCode : 401 error : Unauthorized message : Invalid apiKey (( But the apiKey is correct. I made another account & apiKey at Geoapify, but it was not helps. What’s wrong? ![2022-08-10 15-02-13 А360+ · Glide - Google Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/d/ed529c555a817d323b0a12c19daff7280c5e0be5.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/d/dd84610d20d44524fdd02df3134feaa4abeae162.png) ---

Hi @Alexey_Baranov1, Check if there are spaces in your API Key. And run this in your browser to see what you get! Just tried and I got the results! And also try creating a new API Key by clicking this icon and adding that in the column! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/0/00e25b718c2b8cb8821e08d24964a8964909b5f2.png) Thank you P.S: I think you wouldn’t need a Template column that gets the entered address that stored in the Users table because in you construct url column you already added that as User Profile \> Address. And you don’t want to add https here : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/7/1704b65178d35077c5ca7e66aca96da98b097980.png) because Glide adds that for you automatically! 💪 ---

Thank you very much, @Dilon_Perera! 🙏 Am running to check out your ideas, will be back soon. 🚴‍♂️ The Template column that gets the entered address stored in the Users table i put there just to show here it’s not empty. ---

I’ve found a couse. almost root) ![e1af2c1e63209bd322fe86b3ba904d79d49b48be](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/5/3554b52165ce4a460c226b6b2fe32cb6917af0b3.png) Seems like when you establish URL Construct Column, then FetchJSON Column - each of it on the each Row generates a Request to the API. So while i just combine the columns and try to test, the limit of Credits becomes to 3000 in a minutes, even not in a hour or in a day 😂 😬 Seems this API is not good enough idea to use even for a few request in a day, becouse all of it will be loosen in minutes))) ---

Hola! This is one of the problems when an “autocomplete” feature is used with API requests: too many requests will be fired while the address is written completely or partially 🥴. E.g.: If an address has 10 words (almost 70-80 characters), you will fire at least 5 API requests when you have just typed 8-12 characters and surely, the API still hasn’t found the right address!. The best option is to create a button to fire an API call once the user has written full address and test it. Saludos ---

Hola & thank you for your suggestion, Gvalero! 👋 Looks like this is only way for free API plan. But even when you pay - it still too dummy to pay for each click)) So we need a button to call an API. ---
