Not finding the thing in a list

[aumandg]

I have this API call https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v2/ticker/?convert=USD&limit=10

I have the following blocks and I am not understanding why it is not finding BTC in the list, I get "false".  I have tested "is a list thing" with response "true".

I'm just guessing here, but are you sure that the string "BTC" is exactly what's being returned? No spaces or anything?

What are you looking to get when you look for "BTC' in an object with this  structure? :

 Are you looking for the smallest object that contains the tag:value "symbol": "BTC"

so you can extract sibling tags/value pairs?

Here is a set of blocks that plow through your JSON structure. Unfortunately you have to find out what the structure is before you can find things.

I think there are generic procedures that can do this better, but still you have to know what the structure is.

If you execute the .aia (attached) you will see this: 

Cheers, Ghica.

I took a different tack, trying for a more general solution

for the next person looking to search in a JSON tree.

See attached.

Before the api call was changed, I was able to find the call letters and then pull the price based on where the call letters where.  The blocks below, since they changed there api call it does not work any longer so I am trying to do the same thing, so the app works again.

I believe I have what I need, will do some more testing to see if I can get the app working correctly again with the following blocks.
