Make.com scenario failing due to JSON parsing error when processing API response

:bullseye: What is your goal?

We’re trying to build an automation that processes incoming data via HTTP (API response) and updates our system (Google Sheets/CRM). The goal is to correctly parse the response and continue the workflow without errors.

:thinking: What is the problem & what have you tried?

We’re getting an error in our Make.com scenario:

“Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0”

From what I understand, the module is expecting JSON but something else is being returned.

What we’ve tried so far:

Checked the HTTP module setup
Confirmed the endpoint URL
Retried the scenario multiple times
Looked at the output but not fully sure what’s causing it

Still getting the same error.

Hello @Storypulse_hq

This seems to be an http module problem you are calling the wrong endpoint

Inside your HTTP module:

Use the actual API endpoint, not website

Method

GET or POST (depending on API)

Headers (VERY IMPORTANT)

Add:

Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

That should help you
