# Display List

The *Display List* action node allows you to retrieve a list of options from an [HTTP call](/flow/action-nodes/action-nodes-api-integration.md). 

You can specify the **pattern** that should be used to identify the options from the HTTP response and how the list should be **structured**. You can also (optionally) **filter** the data returned and **exclude** certain information from the data returned before displaying it to a customer.

{% hint style="success" %}
For further explanations and examples, please view [How to use Pattern, Custom Index, Filter By, and Exclude patterns](/flow/user-facing-nodes/branch-logic-split/menu-nodes-dynamic-list/apply-patterns-custom-indexes-filtering-and-exclusions.md). 
{% endhint %}

To display this extracted list to a customer, this node must be followed by either a [*Menu* ](/flow/user-facing-nodes/branch-logic-split/menu-nodes-menu-with-options.md)or a [*Multiple Choice Input*](/flow/user-facing-nodes/branch-logic-split/menu-nodes-multiple-choice-input.md) node.

In the [*Request Input* ](/flow/user-facing-nodes/input-nodes/menu-nodes-ask-for-input.md)node added after the *Display List*, ensure that you add a reference to the **\[\[display list node variable:result]]** as part of the menu text:
