当 JSON 有效时，JSON 输入意外结束

Question

I am using express to get data from a public API and use the data in my front end.

This is my characters route which works fine on certain Public API URLs, but most that I try ends up in an unexpected end of input error.

I am also getting an Unexpected token, in JSON at position 48 . How can this happen when it appears to be valid JSON?

const express = require('express'); // Web Framework
const https = require('https');
const router = express.Router();

const api = 'https://www.cheapshark.com/api/1.0/games?title=batman&steamAppID=35140&limit=60&exact=0';

router.get("/", function(req, res) {
    https.get(api, (response) => {
        console.log(response.statusCode);
        
        response.on('data', (d) => {
            try{
            const data = JSON.parse(d);
            console.log(data);
            res.send(data);
            } catch (err) {
                console.log(err);
            }
        })

        // res.send("Running")
    })
})

module.exports = router;

This is my index.js which uses the character route

const express = require('express'); // Web Framework
const app = express();
const PORT = 3000;

const charactersRoute = require('./routes/characters');


//Characters Route
app.use('/characters', charactersRoute)

app.listen(PORT, function(err) {
    if(err) console.log(err);
    console.log(`Server is listening on port ${PORT}`)
})

This is the JSON I am trying to parse. I validated this is valid JSON on those JSON validation sites.

https response is a stream that returns chunks of data in the data event, so you need to concatenate data there (store buffer raw data into an array), and parse it in the .end event, when the response is finished, and then you can use res.json to send it to the consumer:

try this:

const express = require('express'); // Web Framework
const https = require('https');
const router = express.Router();

const api = 'https://www.cheapshark.com/api/1.0/games?title=batman&steamAppID=35140&limit=60&exact=0';

router.get("/", function(req, res) {

    https.get(api, (response) => {
        console.log(response.statusCode);

        const resData = [];

        response.on('data', (chunk) => {
            resData.push(chunk);
        });

        response.on('end', function() {

            try {
                const data = JSON.parse(Buffer.concat(resData).toString());
                console.log(data);
                res.json(data);
            } catch (err) {
                console.log(err);
            }
        });
    })
});

module.exports = router;
