Posted on by
You're using Power Automate to call an API (https://api.dilisense.com/v1/generateIndividualReport) and expecting a Base64-encoded PDF response

HTTP GET action expects JSON in the response, but the API returns a raw Base64 string (not a properly wrapped JSON object).

Automatic decompression
Automatically decompress gzip response.
Suppress workflow headers
Limit Logic Apps to not include workflow metadata headers in the outgoing request.
 
BadRequest. Http request failed: the content was not a valid JSON. Error while parsing JSON: 'Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: J. Path '', line 0, position 0.'
