I know ☺ I guess Athom is busy. Have also been waiting 6 days for an update to another app of mine. So please be patient for a while. But do think I made your solution very quickly this way.

This is nice! Great job @LRvdLinden !  
I’ll give it a proper test over the next days.  
First thought while playing with it: is there any way to save the API key in the device or app settings instead of the flowcard?

Excellent point. That will do for now.

In the mean time I’m trying to get the IP conv to work.  
I am able to submit a conv request to ipstack (I see the number of API calls increasing), but for some reason it doesn’t trigger the WHEN card that an IP has been converted. Tried a few different IPs, same issue. Any thoughts on what could be the cause of this?

Addition to previous message: I see that the APILayer cards are triggering an error as well:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/9/19e44e1687de4b7308dc20d5d04a69ab17c7525d.png)

I reapplied the API key several times, so don’t believe this is the issue.

Thanks for the app. Came just on as I had been thinking of having something to get the address from coords.

Would it be possible to produce the result tags directly from the action card also, so that they could be used in advanced flows? Now I need to use the trigger to pull the info into a variable to use in the other part of the flow.
