Hi!

I’m fairly new to both Glide and APIs and still brushing up my knowledge but I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for a tutorial or explanation as to how, if at all possible, I could accomplish the following:

Create a search form on Glide (this I have managed) that then returns and displays available properties on a site like Airbnb using this API [Airbnb API Documentation (3b-data-3b-data-default) | RapidAPI](https://rapidapi.com/3b-data-3b-data-default/api/airbnb13)

Thanks!

Long story short:

1. Fetch results (formatted in JSON) using JavaScript or fetch JSON column
2. Create a new, helper table with x number of rows and a number column (add indices 0 through x-1 where x is number of properties you want to return)
3. Bring in the JSON using a single value column
4. Parse the JSON using JavaScript columns referencing the index. One column per field you want to extract from the JSON.
5. Display the helper table in a collection in your app

Here’s a better way to do this now: [🆕 Call API: call custom APIs, and return data back to your app](https://community.glideapps.com/t/call-api-call-custom-apis-and-return-data-back-to-your-app/64938)
