enter image description hereI am getting data from an api and sending it to home.ejs file and displaying it.I get this error after I include the line:

<p><%= data[i].blocks.requestedBodyBlocks.body:latest:1[0].bodyHtml %></p>

The api is providing the data properly because when I run the requested url on google it works fine. Please help.

When you have colons : in your json object's keys (or characters which are valid tokens in JS, like -, &, etc.), you need to use the ["keyname"] notation.

In your case, it would be:

 data[i].blocks.requestedBodyBlocks["body:latest:1"][0].bodyHtml
