You would call the Unsplash API using JavaScript from this endpoint, and return an Unsplash image URL as a string value. If you are not familiar with JavaScript and calling APIs from code, you will have a very hard time making it workā€“this is a specialized technical feature not meant for most Glide developers! ---

@Mark @david.

They could set it up to pull input values from another sheet, then populate the results from the API in a separate table, complete with headings and data. This is technically what Iā€™m already doing with ImportJSON in the google sheet.

@Robert_Petitto Your endpoint is not returning if the input is not a valid ZIP code, it seems, which causes Glide to not update. As soon as you start typing Glide will query the API, even if the input is not complete yet, but if a request never returns Glide doesnā€™t try again. Arguably thatā€™s a bug on Glideā€™s side, but itā€™s also definitely a bug in your endpoint šŸ˜‰ ![2020-12-19 18.35.54](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/c/9c368b82997f695acacda27b20abffe6fc805fe3.gif) ---
