Getting error, Deserialize JSON: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: j. Path '', line 0, position 0

[Darshan_Kulkarni]

I’m enabled to figure of the error

Deserialize JSON: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: j. Path ‘’, line 0, position 0.

I want to scrape datatable from the following website

Diesel Price in Nagpur, Diesel Rate Today (8th Oct 2022) - Rs. 92.59/Ltr

API used =
https://www.goodreturns.in/src/fuels.php?cmd=fuel_rates_4_graph&city=nagpur&fuel_type=diesel&callback=jQuery191023162556062697504_1652863292343&_=1652863292344

Hello @Darshan_Kulkarni ,

Please find a similar post. Also is there any unwanted characters in the json?

Deserialize JSON: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: {. Path '', line 1, position 1

Hi guys! I am trying to use the Deserialize JSON activity but I get the error shown in the title of this posts title. I post POST an API call using the HTTP request activity. When I write line the Result I get the following: {“Message”:“Message Sent”,“Success”:true} When I put this in the Deserialize JSON activity I get the error. I’d be grateful for any help here.

The first part of the response text is not in JSON format:

Replace it with e.g. { "array" :

And change the last ) to }

After this you can deserialize the json string.
