Does anyone have an App that demos how to generate a word cloud on the fly? Thanks in advance, Simon. ---

I don’t have a demo, but this is quite easy to do using the [quickchart.io](http://quickchart.io) [Word Cloud API](https://quickchart.io/wordcloud) - Start with a column that has a list of words that you want to use - Create a template column that calls the API and substitute your word list ![Screen Shot 2021-01-18 at 5.05.06 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/4/e43160e3576f0e3007074396adb027f1aa81c95a.png) - Use that template column as the source to an image component ![Screen Shot 2021-01-18 at 5.06.31 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/e/ee16bf60929674bcb48466b4a190084ea53893f2.png) - End result is something like this: ![Screen Shot 2021-01-18 at 5.06.40 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/7/47e48211a989680012c1348efe2241dc578bf18b.png) ---

That’s great thanks. I did read on one post that there is a limit for the number of words that can be submitted via the URL. Have you encountered that? My source will be hundreds of words long. I guess I should just try it! ---

By the way, once you have link as you nicely describe above, what do you do with it? Do you use a button that submits the URL request and then this opens a website page external to the glide App? I was hoping to get an image back with a URL that I could show within my App… thoughts? ---

> [@Simon\_Hill](#): > > That’s great thanks. I did read on one post that there is a limit for the number of words that can be submitted via the URL. Have you encountered that? My source will be hundreds of words long. I think the limit is constrained by the maximum number of characters allowed in a URI string, which I believe varies from browser to browser. I’ve used it with over 1000 words without any problem. ---

Thank you… your explanation works perfectly! But it only works in Glide for ‘some words’. Glide image doesn’t seem to work with a long list of words… although the same query works fine via PC browser. The limit is going to be a challenge. ---
