invalid char in json text

Question

OwenTheAnalyst opened this issue 5 years ago · 2 comments

Hello,

I'm trying to run the rreddit package but am getting an issue trying to use both get_r_reddit and get_comment_reddit.

The error message when running each time is:

Error: lexical error: invalid char in json text. <!DOCTYPE html> <!--[if lt IE 7 (right here) ------^

I ran the tool fine two weeks ago, and have tried updating the package today but to no success.

Sorry, quite new to R and have tried to do some fixing but nothing I have done so far has worked!

Thanks in advance :)

Apologies, didn't realise the error message hadn't formatted. The arrow is pointing towards the exclamation mark in the DOCTYPE tag

This has overnight started to work again - not sure what if anything has changed!
