Hi!  
I try to get some values from an api.  
The api is [https://opendata-download-metfcst.smhi.se/api/category/fwif1g/version/1/daily/geotype/point/lon/15.18/lat/60.13/data.json](https://opendata-download-metfcst.smhi.se/api/category/fwif1g/version/1/daily/geotype/point/lon/15.18/lat/60.13/data.json).

I want for example the value for fwiindex to put on my homepage.  
Can I use something similar like

type or paste code here

```auto
var queryURL = "//api.luftdaten.info/v1/sensor/13481/";
$.getJSON(queryURL, function(data) {
  var result = data[0].sensordatavalues
  console.log(result);
  var value = result[0].value
  $('#output').append('The value is ' + value);
})

```

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (`</>`) to add backticks around text.

 ![Pre-formatted-text](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/freecodecamp/original/3X/1/b/1b18854f1059217f29370444396145cc3a0cd8ae.gif)

See [this post](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/forum-code-formatting/25574) to find the backtick on your keyboard.  
**Note:** Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

If you use the URL it redirects to instead it should work with the code you have.

Yes, but I want to have the fwiindex from the api [https://opendata-download-metfcst.smhi.se/api/category/fwif1g/version/1/daily/geotype/point/lon/15.18/lat/60.13/data.json](https://opendata-download-metfcst.smhi.se/api/category/fwif1g/version/1/daily/geotype/point/lon/15.18/lat/60.13/data.json)

The other code was just an example. I am not really sure how to code to get the value.
