That error occurs because the Items path <\/strong>has been pointed incorrectly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To show how to find the correct item path in the REST API documentation, we will analyze several free APIs from the RapidAPI<\/strong><\/a> website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting the RapidAPI Endpoint<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

To use the RapidAPI<\/strong><\/a> Endpoint, navigate to JetEngine dashboard > REST API Endpoints<\/em><\/strong> and click on the \u201c+ New Endpoint\u201d <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, click on the link and go to the Urban Dictionary<\/strong><\/a> API. Sign up or log in to the RapidAPI website if you haven\u2019t done it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copy the URL<\/strong> in the Code Snippets<\/strong> tab in the right column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"api\n\n\n\n

Paste the URL in the API Endpoint URL<\/strong> field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"jetengine\n\n\n\n

Skip the Items path <\/strong>field; we will describe its settings further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toggle on the Authorization <\/strong>option and select the \u201cRapidAPI\u201d Authorization type.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\"rapidapi\n\n\n\n

From the RapidAPI website, copy the RapidAPI key<\/strong> and RapidAPI host<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"rapidapi\n\n\n\n

Paste them into the RapidAPI Key<\/strong> and RapidAPI Host<\/strong> fields, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"jetengine\n\n\n\n

Finally, from the RapidAPI website, copy the params (term: \u2018wat\u2019<\/strong> in our case).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"api\n\n\n\n

Paste it into the Query String<\/strong> field and change the colon to the equal sign (term=\u2019wat\u2019<\/strong>, for example).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"query\n\n\n

<\/svg><\/div>
Warning<\/div>

Be aware that this field is optional, and not all API endpoints require the Query String to be filled.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Setting the Items Path<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Proceed to the Urban Dictionary<\/strong><\/a> link and click on the \u201cTest Endpoint\u201d <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"test\n\n\n\n

In the Results<\/strong> tab in the right column, you can see that the items are nested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"api\n\n\n\n

Enter \/list<\/strong> into the Item path <\/strong>field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"item\n\n\n\n

Click on the \u201cSend Request\u201d <\/strong>button to check the API endpoint connection. The Connected<\/strong> status shows that all settings are correct. After you finish, hit the \u201cSave\u201d <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"enddpoint\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s have a look at other RapidAPI endpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the other NBA<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>API endpoint, you need to enter the \/data<\/strong> items path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"free\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s all. You know now how to set the correct items path for the API endpoints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
