Decrypt JSON compressed with lz-string

[daniele_tiles]

Hi to all,

we have to prototype a dashboard based on a Postgres DB.

The data is saved in JSON format, but unfortunately is also compressed with lz-string:

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there some function to call, or should I make a python script and call it?

Best regards

Daniele Tiles

Hi @daniele_tiles ,
