Hi All,
I have a few dataflows where the data is coming from a Service Now cloud service using REST API. Everything was working fine till yesterday, but since today morning I am facing issues related to JSON file.
Error: We found an invalid character between object key and value in JSON input...
Below is my query which I am using to extract the data from REST API
Pagination = List.Skip(List.Generate( () => [WebCall=[result = {0}], Page = 0, Counter=0], // Start Value
each List.Count([WebCall][result])>0 or [Counter] =0, // Condition under which the next execution will happen
each [ WebCall = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://servicecentral.xxx.com/api/now/table/incident?sysparm_display_value=true&sysparm_exclude_ref...",
[Query=[sysparm_offset =Text.From([Counter])]])),
Page = [Page]+1,
Counter = [Counter]+1000// internal counter
]
) ,1),

#"Replace errors"
I tried recreating the same query in power bi desktop also but facing the same issues. Not sure how to resolve it.
Hi @Anonymous ,
There is a similar case you may refer to : Transform content to JSON is not working .
