Hello all,

I would like to get some help on the problem that I am experiencing when trying to get and then map an json output/answer from a web REST API.
The problem is that when I get an answer from API using "decode -mime-entity function" I get a json answer as a correct json answer from service please see below. But when I want to provide a json schema to the response with 200 status I don't get any data (like an empty json file). At this point I don't know what I am missing, is the json structure provided a problem?

The REST API service returns data in JSON format. Plsae see also below a sample correct json answer from the service which I want then map to some xls or text file as a source

I will also include a json schema file that I am using as a structure for rest API answer with 200 status and for structure to the output file.

Any help would be much appreciated.

This happens because the received reply is not valid against the provided schema. Some of the properties are null, however the schema doesn't allow null values.

Hello that,

Thank you, for your answer. It works now thanks to you, I have added missing "type":"null" to the json schema.
