can you provide another working url? this one seems to be down https://[cj.lziapi.com/api.php/provide/vod/from/lzm3u8?ac=detail&ids=79752](https://cj.lziapi.com/api.php/provide/vod/from/lzm3u8?ac=detail&ids=79752)

Hi, thanks for providing the new URL, I checked it and found, it is the issue with the API provider, the response that they give contains a property vod-content which contains valid HTML content, and they are setting the content-type as text/html in the response, so when the browser (not the extension) gets the response, it tries to render that valid HTML, and thus breaking the valid JSON structure and as JSON Formatter can only get content from the page's HTML, it sees the same that browser sees, and ignore formatting due to invalid JSON.

Fixes:

• if you are the creator of the API, just set content-type: application/json in response headers, and the browser will see it as JSON and will not try to render the HTML part, and JSON Formatter should work fine in that case.
• If you are the consumer, best you can do is reporting them, as even without JSON Formatter, if you copy the response displayed in the browser, it'd be corrupt JSON
