Hi.

How to make a script that works like this: if data changes in the Data Source JSON file, 1 row in both columns, run the graphic, it should be in front for 20 seconds and the graphic disappears, and every time like this.

Thank you for all your help :)

One can actually "program" the animation for that within a GT title itself (fixed delay time)
else
plenty of script examples (scripting for dummies post) on how to read title content (change) of a textblock and do some action (titleBeginAnimation) based on that

if one uses a datasource ( be it json, xml, csv, ....) it is to link it to a title , one reads the content within the title and checks for a change there (script)

same principle example here (reading through the API XML or using the input.find() function for title textblock content

Can not expect to find an exact match for a personal goal but post contains some "tools/examples" to start from for creating your own "How to make a script that works like ... "

Try:
Code:

'Kena Raadio Data Source

dim Titlename as string = "TrackInfo"
dim DataTableName as string = "Kena Raadio"
dim oldartistname as string = "0"
dim PAUSE As integer = 20000

dim ArtistName as string = ""


' put title in overlay 3
API.Function("OverlayInput3In",Input:=Titlename)

Do While True
      API.Function("DataSourceSelectRow",Value:=DataTableName & ",0")
      ArtistName = Input.Find("Titlename").Text("ArtistName.text")
 
      If not ArtistName = oldartistname
            API.Function("SetText",Input:=Titlename,SelectedName:=ArtistName & ".Text",Value:="")
            API.Function("OverlayInput3In", Input:="3")
            sleep(PAUSE)
            API.Function("OverlayInput3Out")
            oldartistname = ArtistName
      end if
Sleep(1000)
Loop

are those the correct names for your datasource, titlename and textblock names ?

Code:
'Kena Raadio Data Source

dim Titlename as string = "TrackInfo"
dim DataTableName as string = "Kena Raadio"
dim oldartistname as string = "0"
dim PAUSE As integer = 20000

dim ArtistName as string = ""

Do While True  
      ArtistName = Input.Find(Titlename).Text("ArtistName.text")
 
      If not ArtistName = oldartistname
            API.Function("OverlayInput3In", Input:=Titlename)
            sleep(PAUSE)
            API.Function("OverlayInput3Out")
            oldartistname = ArtistName
      end if
Sleep(1000)
Loop


or just build it into a title , no script needed

Cool, didn't this was possible.
I was able to recreate your example. As soon as i change the title via webinterface, the title is activated.
Let' see if uploading an example is possible:
