Unwrap JSONP and MongoDB Types

🧩 Problem

Some APIs return JSONP or MongoDB-specific types that downstream tools cannot parse. When malformed or unstructured data hits routers, filters, or API connectors, entire automations halt or silently drop records. Teams end up retrying runs, hand-editing payloads, and explaining delays to customers.

πŸ’‘ Why This Happens

Legacy endpoints and DB exports wrap JSON in callbacks or typed constructors. Most automation platforms assume well-formed payloads and do minimal validation. AI models, third-party APIs, and changing vendor schemas drift over time, mixing encodings, formats, and unexpected fields that downstream steps cannot tolerate.

πŸš€ The Fix: JSON Fixer (API Endpoint)

Use this endpoint to solve the problem reliably inside Zapier, n8n, Make.com, MongoDB, Apps Script.

Endpoint

POST https://api.postthatgetthis.com/json/fix

Example Input

callback({ _id: ObjectId('abc123'), created: ISODate('2024-01-01T00:00:00Z'), count: NumberLong(5) });

Example Output

{ "_id": "abc123", "created": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z", "count": 5 }

πŸ“¦ What This Solves

  • Removes JSONP wrappers
  • Converts ObjectId/ISODate/NumberLong
  • Produces plain JSON
