• The array of people is available in data[0].results - it doesn't exist in the base data .
• When you use jQuery .each , the first argument is the iteration number , not the item being iterated over. Give the function a second argument, and use it when specifying the names, heights, etc of the people:

 function promiseTest() { return $.ajax({ type: 'GET', url: 'https://swapi.co/api/people/', }) } function promiseTest2() { return $.ajax({ type: 'GET', url: 'https://swapi.co/api/films/', }) } var promise = promiseTest(); var promise2 = promiseTest2(); var bothPromise = $.when(promise, promise2); bothPromise.done(function(data) { $.each(data[0].results, function(i, e) { $("#app").append("<ul><li>Name: " + e.name + "</li><li>Height: " + e.height + " </li><li>Skin Color: " + e.skin_color + "</li><li>Gender: " + e.gender + " </li><li>Film: " + e.films + "</ul>") }) /*alert("done")*/ }) 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <div id="app"></div> 

But there's no need for jQuery at all just for this - you can use fetch and Promise.all , which are supported natively in non-ancient browsers:

 Promise.all([ fetch('https://swapi.co/api/people/').then(res => res.json()), fetch('https://swapi.co/api/films/').then(res => res.json()) ]).then(data => { const app = document.querySelector('#app'); data[0].results.forEach((e) => { app.innerHTML += "<ul><li>Name: " + e.name + "</li><li>Height: " + e.height + " </li><li>Skin Color: " + e.skin_color + "</li><li>Gender: " + e.gender + " </li><li>Film: " + e.films + "</ul>" }); }); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <div id="app"></div>
