HTTP Response Returns INVALID_JSON

Question

While using HTTP response in a Trello automation, I'm unable to parse the response received. Using {httpresponse} in the description looks to show the response but trying to access any of the elements like {httpresponse.status} returns an INVALID_JSON value. Any ideas as to why?

Gustavo Kindel · Answer

I confirmed with our engineering team that it's expected that http responses will get truncated at 16k characters because that's the maximum string input that Trello's API accepts.

We've raised a feature request to continue to track the need to change this going forward. Fingers crossed!

I know I'm getting the error because the response itself is getting truncated. Was wondering if there's a reason as to why that happens.

I had a look around and I see one of my colleagues asking our engineering team for a bit more detail. I'll defer to them, and ask that he reply back in this thread once he finds out a bit more!
