Troubleshooting HTTP API Issues: Column Deletion Error Explained

·

i am trying to use the HTTP API functionality and am running into an issue/possible bug. I am getting an error that says one of the columns used in the body of the script has been deleted, but this is not the case. Help? https://app.clay.com/workspaces/477611/workbooks/wb_nNC2QwkKVdeN/tables/t_PDTZ2BrEkdhV/views/gv_tGtFNgg8ihyw

The error you're encountering is likely due to a formatting issue in the Body section of your HTTP API enrichment, rather than an actual deleted column. Here are some common causes and solutions: 1. Ensure all keys are surrounded by double quotes. 2. For dynamic columns, include quotes around the column tag. 3. Check for proper JSON syntax, including commas between key-value pairs. 4. Look for hidden characters by pasting your body into a text editor. If the issue persists, try using a JSON validator like JSONLint to spot formatting errors. If you need further assistance, please request to talk to a person in this chat for more detailed help.
