Get request to fetch data

I have made a keyboard where users can search, and there are two buttons to search images and the search feed. When a user writes something and clicks on any button, I want to search that user-typed query, I have to make a get request to a backend to get data, but this is not succeeding, this API call is succeeding if I write this in source/main.brs just for testing.

Below my code pictures you can check

Re: Get request to fetch data

You need to use a task to make network calls you can’t do them in your ui components. 

Here is the documentation and they have a small sample of using one to load grid content.
