Hi, I am currently attempting to send a package and then go into uploading and downloading using the AoC, Node and Transfer SDK APIs. However at the moment I have created the bearer token and run the POST requests but am only getting an HTML response when I need a JSON response. I was wondering if anyone could help? I have tried a variety of things but don't know where the source of the problem is. Any information would be a great help. Thanks! Kam

Hi Kam,

What product are you using?

Thanks,

Hi Kam,

It sounds like you're encountering an issue with receiving an HTML response instead of JSON from your POST requests. This often happens when the API endpoint is not properly set up to return JSON, or if the Accept header is missing from your request.

You can try adding the following header to your POST request to ensure you're explicitly requesting a JSON response:

headers: {
  'Accept': 'application/json',
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  'Authorization': `Bearer ${yourToken}`
}

Make sure that the URL you're sending the request to is the correct API endpoint for JSON data. If the endpoint still returns HTML, the issue could be on the server side, where the API might need to be configured to return the correct response type.

Also, double-check the documentation for the AoC, Node, and Transfer SDK APIs to ensure that you're using the right endpoints and methods for JSON responses.

I recently worked on a Roblox exploit project, and while it's a different field, API issues can pop up across domains. If you're interested, you can check out my work at DeltaExector. Hopefully, this helps! Let me know how it goes.

Best of luck!

Hi Kam,

It sounds like your API request might not be correctly specifying the **Content-Type** or **Accept** headers, which is causing the server to return HTML instead of JSON due to cloud storage issues. Here are a few steps that could help:

1. Set Headers Correctly: Make sure your POST request includes the headers:
   - `Content-Type: application/json` (for sending JSON data).
   - `Accept: application/json` (to specify that you expect a JSON response).

2. Check the Endpoint: Some APIs have different endpoints for HTML and JSON responses. Confirm that the URL you're using is the correct one for JSON responses.

3. Inspect the Response: Sometimes, an HTML response can be an error page. Check if there are details in the response body or headers that indicate an issue, like an authentication error or a bad request.

4. Verify Bearer Token Scope: Ensure your bearer token has the correct permissions for the operations you're trying to perform.

If you've set these up and are still facing issues, it could help to share the specific code snippet or API documentation for further troubleshooting. Hope this helps!
