# Include variable in JSON block’s API URL

 * Can I adjust the API URL used by the JSON Content Gutenberg block in response
   to variable passed in the containing page’s URL? Example use case:
   — a page at
   URL /states has a JSON Content Gutenberg block that calls an API to request a
   list of US state names (e.g. api.com/states/all)— the block displays each returned
   state name as a clickable link having URL like /cities?state=ca — JSON Content
   Gutenberg block on /cities page calls api with request for cities in the selected
   state (e.g. api.com/[state]/cities/all)In other words, would I need 50 pages 
   with blocks having hard-coded API URLs, or can I have one page where the block’s
   API URL incorporates a passed variable?

 * Hi [@jedlin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jedlin/),
 * thank you for asking.
 * The free JCI Plugin is not able to use GET- or POST-Parameters. Therefore the
   JCI Block just ignores state=ca
   Sorry about that,Bernhard

 * Thanks for your quick answer. Since you qualified your answer to the free version,
   I guess the implication is that the paid version might do what I want. So I’ll
   give that a try.
