Hi all I am calling an api to return data using http request , I have the data back fine and have used the split sequence to return the values I want from the Array that was generated.
Data comes back as this in the debug window.

"DBB1"
I would like to then do another http request but add my returned value to the url I want to interrogate e.g. [http://mysite/](http://mysite/)"MY STRING"/blahblahblah and run the http request for each value I put into it. but am not sure how to proceed.
Firstly the string being returned is in double quotes" " that I would like to remove but I cant seem to get rid of them using the change node, Im assuming when that is done I set my string as a variable and then inject it into the http request. but am unsure how to do so and how to use each value to trigger a new http request.
I know its pretty simple stuff but I am very new to this and have had a google but cant seem to find what I am looking for.
Can anyone give me some pointers please so I can get this going ( I woud rather not have the full answer just the steps I should follow please so I can try to work the rest out myself.
Thankyou for your time.

The quotes are only there in the sidebar to help show you it is a string. They are probably not there for real. If you send the debug also to the console you’ll be able to check.

You are correct I copied a value and the quotes are not there, thankyou. I didn't think to check, something new learned. do you have any advice on the rest ?

Then maybe a template node to form up the url as you need to request then an http request node to do the requests etc

I did, thankyou it worked perfectly.
inject \> http request (to get array of values) \> Split \>Template (to get{{payload}}) then \> Url request with the {{payload}} in the correct place \> Debug
all data comes back just how I wanted it.
Thankyou for your time, much appreciated.
