Parse JSON - ValidationFailed: The schema validation failed

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 12

Hi,

I have a flow which runs and works.  On occasion it fails when there is no data that a Get HTTP request API makes.

Is there a way to handle this error?

 

The error I see sometimes is: "Parse_get_alerts_api_response_in_JSON' failed"

  "status": "Data is not present for the given query"
 
  {
    "message": "Invalid type. Expected Array but got Object.",
 
I have tried modifying the schema to accept null values like this - but still it fails if there is no data - any suggestions please?
{
  "type": "array",
  "items": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
