Hi,
The JSON format I get out of the API when I extract multiple Activities is not following JSON standards as it seems. I am not an expert not a dev. But if I pretty print it and save the output, and load it for further analysis, it says the file format is not valid.
I've tried to debut it and indeed I get “multiple JSON root elements”.
Any idea? :)
Thx for your help!
+26Maybe your analysis prgram has a bug or the json got distorted in the printing and saving process. The activities endpoint creates a json array, a single root is not expected here.
+23How are you getting the JSON output? The general format for the returned array should look something like this, where the entire output is enclosed in square brackets [] indicating an array, and each activity is enclosed in curly braces {} as an entry in the array.
[
{
"resource_state" : 2,
"athlete" : {
"id" : 1,
"resource_state" : 1
},
"name" : "Activity #1",
"other_fields" : "values"
},
{
"resource_state" : 2,
"athlete" : {
"id" : 1,
"resource_state" : 1
},
"name" : "Activity #2",
"other_fields" : "values"
}
]If you are seeing multiple root elements, maybe you missed copying the enclosing square brackets around the whole thing? You could also try running the JSON through https://jsonlint.com/ to see what problems it highlights.
