[New Feature] Native JSON parsing is now available in the API Connector

Announcements

Anyone else reinitialise calls, see the parse as JSON toggle, turn it on go HOORAY, change all your workflows, get rid of the janky round about ways to parse the JSON…only to then have to reinitialise again for an unrelated thing and suddenly it’s not picking on the stringified JSON anymore? Even though that property is unchanged in the API response? But of course you can’t see the full API response anymore to check exactly what you are getting back :face_without_mouth:

Oh wait - if you go to the OLD api connector in your plugins, reinitialise there so you can actually see the response :roll_eyes: then go back to the NEW api connector it suddenly gives you back the ‘parse as JSON’ toggle.

Hopefully it gets less buggy because this feature is really nice! But also could we PRETTY PLEASE see the full response payload at least just once before we save it like we used to be able to.

Did we also lose the date (UNIX) option in the new API connector? I can still see it in the old one.

Thanks for the feedback @andrew13 - looking into this. Have you filed a bug report yet by chance?

I’ve been waiting for this for like 2 years! Will be testing it out! Thanks a ton!!

Just in case this helps anyone, I found that when working with Brave browser, Brave Shields have to be disabled in order to see the inputs in the API Connector for this to work as documented.
