I tried to make a GET call through HTTP Request node to get a json response format but encountered an error that the response is not valid json and to change to string format instead.
Tried string and gotten a response but when i try to manipulate the data via function node to map through to create items to be process in baserow (1 item for 1 row), I encountered lots of issue. Probably my knowledge in data manipulation is not great. Tried many methods to convert the data to proper json format.
I have also tried getting the response as file > then use the move binary data node to convert the file to json but also encountered problem (unexpected number in json). I was starting to think my response data is not formatted correctly.
But when I made the same GET call using insomnia, the return json is perfectly formatted. I tried by copying the response from insomnia and setting and returning via a function node. I can do what i intended to. Meaning its the correct json format.
Can anyone point me to where to look to get this right?
*The response data is pretty big. If need be I will post a shorten version and redact the value.
All i can tell from comparing the 2 responses are the additional key [{“data”:“{…}”}]
I like to know why insonmia or postman seem to be able to return a JSON response.
Anyway great project @jan !
I am testing out n8n coming from other automation tools but I really like the direction its going. Once I finish evaluating, will definitely hop on the cloud tier to support the team.
Best Regards
