Issues converting curl command into http request with JSON output

Hi I’m new here and migrating my workflows from make.com to N8N.

Describe the problem/error/question

Import CURL command is not working properly.

When I use the CURL import on N8N it didn’t import it correctly, so I tweaked it to get an output in return.

CURL command in the Bright Data API documentation:
curl -v --insecure --compressed --proxy brd.superproxy.io:22225 --proxy-user brd-customer-<ACCOUNT_ID>-zone-: “pizza - Google Suche”

What is the error message (if any)?

http request returning (correct) html data, supposed to be already parsed in JSON.

By adding “&lum_json=1” at the end of the url, the output should return json load, which isn’t.
When I remove this part, the output is not changing.

When I make the request through a python script, it’s working as expected and returning the parsed html output.

Please share your workflow

I’m using N8N cloud, calling Bright Data Serp API which supposed to return JSON data in a basic workflow

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)
