Hi Agnius,

Thank you so much for the swift reply!
I have been breaking my head over this and I did try as you instructed but I received the following error:
"{"detail":[{"loc":["body",479],"msg":"Extra data: line 1 column 480 (char 479)","type":"value_error.jsondecode","ctx":{"msg":"Extra data","doc":"{ \"data\": \"<this is where the data goes>"}'","pos":479,"lineno":1,"colno":480}}]}"
