Hi,

I would to give user the ability to search in the movie database: [Keyword](https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/search-keyword/). How would I go about doing that.

Thanks

Hola!

Sure you can.

You need to use the Construct URL plugin to create your request via a GET command  
[Glide • Construct URL](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/computed-columns/construct-url)

and later, use the Fetch JSON plugin to retrieve the specific value to be shown.

Here there is a video that will help you a lot [Fetch JSON Tutorial + Template](https://community.glideapps.com/t/fetch-json-tutorial-template/59905)

Saludos!
