I am trying to get live currency exchange rates by using HttpService:GetAsync(). It all works fine except a string version of the table is returned. What do I use to return a table as a table, or how can I convert a string to a table?

The actual thing:

Am I doing something wrong or should I change the provider?

I think you are looking for HttpService:JSONDecode. It converts a JSON table into a lua table so you can index it normally.
