HTTP Bad Request - Invalid JSON

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 42

I have a flow using HTTP requests to get and store information from a third party. The first request is to get an authentication token, this has stated failing with response. Http request failed: the content was not a valid JSON. Error while parsing JSON: 'Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: e. Path '', line 0, position 0.'

 

The request works fine when using Postman or the API explorer on the providers website, I have also tried a creating a new flow with the same results.

    I am not sure what else there is to explain, it is a simple http request with a url and two headers, as per screenshot. This exact call works in postman/ api explorer and has worked previously in power automate.  Please advise what else you require.
