HTTP API Enrichment: Handling JSON Errors in Settings Modal

Β·
Β·

In the HTTP API enrichment, if I have an error in the body of the JSON and after editing the body I hit save settings I can see the error for a second and then the modal disappears. And when I open it again I don’t see the error. Basically the only way I can see it is to click in the edit box and then click tab or click somewhere else in the modal. Not necessarily a bug but some UX that could be improved.

    When you encounter a "failed to parse body" error in the HTTP API enrichment modal, it's related to JSON formatting issues in the Body section. The error may appear briefly and require interaction with the edit box to reappear because it's triggered by validation checks when you interact with the input field.Here are some common JSON formatting issues to check for: ** Missing quotation marks around text strings ** Extra commas at the end of lines ** Incorrect syntax or special characters ** Hidden characters that may be causing formatting problemsTo properly validate your JSON, you can: 1. Copy and paste your JSON into a text editor to check for hidden characters 2. Use a JSON validator like JSONLint to identify formatting issues 3. Ensure all strings are properly enclosed in quotes 4. Check that your keys and values follow proper JSON syntax Sources: FAQ: Why am I seeing the "failed to parse body" error when using the HTTP API enrichment?
