Unexpected end of JSON input at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)

Question

Below is the code written in my get method. I don't know why am I facing this problem. How to solve it, please provide some code.

app.get("/",function(req,res)
{
    const url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users"
    https.get(url,function(response)
    {
        console.log(response.statusCode);

        response.on("data",function(data)
        {
            const apidata = JSON.parse(data)
            console.log(apidata)
        })
    })

})

Answer 1

You're facing this problem because response.on('data', ... is a stream which means you likely don't have the full json object yet, which also means you're trying to parse a partial response. You should collect the json chunks in on('data', ... and then parse the json when the response is complete. Something like this:

https.get(url, function(response){
  console.log(response.statusCode);
  let rawData = ''
  response.on("data", function(data){
    rawData = `${rawData}${data}`
  })
  response.on("end", function() {
    const apidata = JSON.parse(rawData)
    console.log(apidata)
  })
})

Answer 2

Response from https.get are already JSON object, you don't need to parse it.
