JSON ERROR: Syntax error #55

maab16 · 2020-10-28T08:19:00Z

Sometimes may be you get this error. If you are using it first time then make sure you followed some steps

Enable mod_rewrite in your server
Make sure you have .htaccess file in your WordPress root directory. Contents should look like

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteBase /
	RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
	RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Make sure your URL permalink is Post name

I have changed the .htaccess file to as shown however I'm still getting JSON ERROR: Syntax error, is there a work around for this?

SDekkers · 2020-12-15T11:49:13Z

I've found this error to show when trying to use the update call on a product, the root cause is the destination shop not accepting PUT requests (http 405 is thrown) as the server is limited to GET and POST requests.

I'll submit a PR that will show the appropriate HTTP error.

Hello @alexvolley and @SDekkers,

Thanks for creating the issue. If you followed above configuration then it's not configuration issue.

For @alexvolley you can check your API key and secret carefully and make sure have read and write permission. For further information follow this link https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#authentication

For @SDekkers I think you need to check your wocommerce account that you have write access.

SDekkers · 2020-12-15T15:47:01Z

@maab16 The key used was able to add products, but not update them.. I was able to reverse-engineer the response given by the API, which resulted in the below

(did a dd() on $body in the function processResponse() in the HttpClient)

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">\n
<html><head>\n
<title>405 Method Not Allowed</title>\n
</head><body>\n
<h1>Method Not Allowed</h1>\n
<p>The requested method PUT is not allowed for this URL.</p>\n
</body></html>\n

This obviously isn't JSON so the syntax error is technically correct, but the error can be better looking at the http status code.

edit: I see the HTTPClient isn't part of this package, so I shall PR it into the other package.

maab16 · 2020-12-18T13:15:49Z

@SDekkers You don't need to use HTTPClient. It already implemented. Can you share your code how yo implement this package?

SDekkers · 2020-12-18T13:51:43Z

@maab16 Nothing special..

Product::update($product->woocommerce_id, $data);

The PR I will add to the HTTPClient class in the Automattic\WooCommerce package to improve the error message when the API endpoint throws a HTTP error (i.e. 405 method not allowed)

maab16 · 2020-12-18T13:58:21Z

@SDekkers Sounds looks good. But where you get wocommerce_id in above example?

SDekkers · 2020-12-18T14:00:10Z

Just my database, a separate modal with scraped products from a partner webshop.

The issue here is that my clients webshop hasn't allowed PUT and DELETE requests on its webserver, so the error message (JSON Syntax error) was somewhat vague.

maab16 · 2020-12-18T14:01:41Z

@SDekkers Yea, you get the point. Go ahead. It's not this package related issue.

CrawDance · 2021-01-03T07:49:06Z

Hey there
I still have the similar issue, any advise would be appreciated.
regards
laravel 7 - php 7.4

maab16 · 2021-01-03T07:53:30Z

I've tested and it worked for me Laravel 7 and PHP 7.4. I think your issue related to the WordPress not Laravel. If you follow the instruction carefully I hope this issue will fix. Thanks

CrawDance · 2021-01-03T07:56:49Z

thanks for the response,
It was working as intended almost a week ago.
no changes no updates, nothing.
Maybe a webhosting related issue ?

MSufianS · 2021-01-04T12:53:36Z

Faced same issue.

itsme-francesco · 2021-07-12T14:42:33Z

Hi,
I'm facing the same issue.

In my case the issue is related to WP installed in a subfolder.

Is there a solution to apply in this case?

Thanks!

[Edit]
I solved the issue by moving the site from subfolder to the root directory.

AIMahn · 2022-07-19T14:21:47Z

Same problem here, new Woocommerce installation set up locally, but can't establish a connection.

maab16 · 2022-07-19T16:07:33Z

Hello @almahn,

Can you share the error? Thanks

saqlainkhadim · 2022-10-31T11:13:39Z

@maab16
When I call the API from the request client it returns JSON and ok.
but when I call this form laravel-woocomerce it says the JSON syntax error.
maybe it is error in the repo or maybe my configuration fault

maab16 · 2022-10-31T16:10:37Z

@saqlainkhadimbusiness

Please share your request and response. Thanks

Changing the store url from https://example.com to https://www.example.com (so adding www) fixed this issue for me.

gusjara · 2023-01-14T23:46:37Z

Hi, i have an implementation with woocommerce version 7.1.0 and I don't have problems.
But on a new implementations with woocommerce version 7.3.0 I can't fix the error "JSON ERROR: Syntax error", it's only when run update a product, but when I create I don't have any error.

The error displaying is that:
#message: "JSON ERROR: Syntax error"
#code: 503
#file: "./vendor/automattic/woocommerce/src/WooCommerce/HttpClient/HttpClient.php"
#line: 411

Tried with www and without.

Any workaround for this?

I'll try to downgrade wc version and comment later.

My best regards.

Senhores me deparei com o mesmo problema, no GET de todas as Categorias, mesma aplicação que estava rodando sem problemas dias atrás
Gentlemen, I came across the same problem, in the GET of all Categories, the same application that was running without problems a few days ago

'JSON ERROR: Syntax error',
 $params = [
              'per_page' => 100,
              'page' => $cont,
            ];
            $cat1 = Category::All($params);

outzo · 2024-02-01T20:39:52Z

Olá, tenho uma implementação com woocommerce versão 7.1.0 e não tenho problemas. Mas em novas implementações com woocommerce versão 7.3.0 não consigo corrigir o erro "JSON ERROR: Syntax error", é só quando executo atualizar um produto, mas quando crio não tenho nenhum erro.

O erro exibido é que: #message: "JSON ERROR: Syntax error" #code: 503 #file: "./vendor/automattic/woocommerce/src/WooCommerce/HttpClient/HttpClient.php" #line: 411

Tentei com wwwe sem.

Alguma solução alternativa para isso?

Vou tentar fazer o downgrade da versão wc e comentar mais tarde.

Os meus melhores cumprimentos.

Também tentei esta alternativa sem sucesso

gusjara · 2024-02-01T21:53:39Z

Hi, I use on this way and can get categories
Use URL without 'www' only https://domain.com
use
use Codexshaper\WooCommerce\Facades\Category;

$categories = Category::all(['per_page' => 100, 'page' => $page_number]);
and in my .env
WOOCOMMERCE_VERIFY_SSL=false
WOOCOMMERCE_API_VERSION=v3
