the url works fine but it never goes through the data in the i, v in ipairs

local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Main.LoadPlayerItems
local httpservice = game:GetService("HttpService")

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local gui = player.PlayerGui.PopUps.AddItems
	local url = "https://catalog.roproxy.com/v1/search/items/details?Category=3&SortType=1"
	local data = game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONDecode( game:GetService("HttpService"):GetAsync(url))
	
	for i,v in ipairs(data) do -- it never goes through the data
		local item = game.ReplicatedStorage.Main.Item:Clone()
		item.Name = v.id
		item.Parent = gui.ScrollingFrame
		item.Id.Value = v.id
		item.Inner.Title.Text = v.name
		local newstring = string.format("rbxthumb://type=Asset&id=%s&w=420&h=420", v.id)
		item.Inner.Icon.Image = newstring

	end
end)

Use pairs rather than ipairs. That may work.

now when i do print(v.name) it says nil

As well as the change from ipairs to pairs, you also need to access the actual data part of the request. Here is a revised code.

local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Main.LoadPlayerItems
local httpservice = game:GetService("HttpService")

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local gui = player.PlayerGui.PopUps.AddItems
	local url = "https://catalog.roproxy.com/v1/search/items/details?Category=3&SortType=1"
	local data = game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONDecode( game:GetService("HttpService"):GetAsync(url)).data -- i added .data
	
	for i,v in pairs(data) do
		local item = game.ReplicatedStorage.Main.Item:Clone()
		item.Name = v.id
		item.Parent = gui.ScrollingFrame
		item.Id.Value = v.id
		item.Inner.Title.Text = v.name
		local newstring = string.format("rbxthumb://type=Asset&id=%s&w=420&h=420", v.id)
		item.Inner.Icon.Image = newstring

	end
end)

Side note: Either ipairs or pairs would work in this situation because the content of .data is not a dictionary.
