That is too bad. I’m working around the HTTP Requests app, as it doesn’t look like it will be updatet to SDKv3. The developer hasn’t provided any contact information, and there is no topic available. I’m looking to do the same thing with Homey’s own logic in advanced flow. But I get stuck at the header and body of the HTTP request. ![Scherm­afbeelding 2022-11-01 om 09.27.39](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/2/32bb3cde0266dee3a71340ee48e39e37858a5df5.png) ---

Perhaps just `{}`? ---

You used the wrong request card, you need the one with the tag icon behind it’s title (just below it in the list). The headers and body inputs are optional and can be kept empty. ---

Your using jQuery (I think) as path, Homey uses javascript, so should be `energy[0].level` Little bit difficult to double check everything in your card on mobile. ---

Sadly, that also didn’t work. The variable doesn’t change, while the flow continues. I have no clue about jQuery and javascript when I have to type it myself. When I read it, I can understand it. Does anyone have another suggestion? Thanks 🙂 ---

I checked my logic in Homey. I don’t understand why your “to”-value is 1337. It should return 97.0 (the value is near the blue “nipple” in your IF-card). When I add another logic-card, Homey says the result of the "parse-"card is the full JSON. Maybe the path is not correct? ![Scherm­afbeelding 2022-11-01 om 13.35.23](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/2/32db5bd2620b182dc34c290ba9423a0322280dea.png) ---

Are you trying to read the value in energy[0].level or write to it? It seems you are trying to read the value which means you are using the wrong card. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/1/d1481ff2493db21fcfcfd3ca9cc42b2d83e4f1f7.png) ---

Awesome, that did the trick!! The card I used seemed to store the JSON value directly in a logic variable, but now I got it. Thank you all for your help. And the solution for others with the same question in the future: ![Scherm­afbeelding 2022-11-01 om 15.39.52](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/0/60e8c49b7be6c9321b974553631430c969a8f9f4.png) ---

Does this also work without advanced flow, or is this a function of the advanced flow ? I try to get information from the electric house boiler, but doesnot store the variable into logics. Thanks ---

Hi Guys, I have been trying to figure out how to store data from a get request in a similar way. I want to retrieve the 1h rain prediction from the agromonitoring API. I receive the following info: {“dt”:1715031230,“weather”:[{“id”:301,“main”:“Drizzle”,“description”:“drizzle”,“icon”:“09n”},{“id”:500,“main”:“Rain”,“description”:“light rain”,“icon”:“10n”}],“main”:{“temp”:286.29,“feels\_like”:286.17,“temp\_min”:285.89,“temp\_max”:287.75,“pressure”:1012,“humidity”:96},“wind”:{“speed”:0.51,“deg”:190},“rain”:{“1h”:0.87},“clouds”:{“all”:100}} ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/f/2fc7e46b7b2b170569bbb3f3086899822c7f2f33.png) I reckon the path is incorrect but don’t know how to fix this. ---

Thanks. Another post helped me. If a number is in the path ‘‘1h’’. use [‘1h’] instead of 1h. [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/setting-up-simple-get-request-and-storing-value-as-numeric-logic-object/48614.md?page=1)
