I made a system to Book flights with the Trello API.

01wait(1)
02local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
03ap = require(game.ServerScriptService.TrelloAPI)
04BoardID = ap:GetBoardID("REWOT Flights")
05 
06bi = ap:GetLists(BoardID)
07print(bi)
08 
09local json = HttpService:JSONEncode(bi)
10print(json)
11 
12print(json[1])

In the output "print(json[1])" is "nil" This is the table:

[{"pos":65535,"closed":false,"subscribed":false,"id":"58c02cce4356c6873fc04985", "idBoard":"58c02cc833c86452d2825b77","name":"TestBoard"},{"pos":131071,"closed":false,"subscribed":false,"id":"58c16e98b86cb1d603d793e2", "idBoard":"58c02cc833c86452d2825b77","name":"testboard2"}]

Why is the output nil?

The reason your code doesn't work is because you are encoding into JSON when you should be decoding it instead as decoding will turn it into a table that Lua can understand:

local json = HttpService:JSONDecode(bi)

Decoded table prints nil?
