Error message "Field delimiter '\t' found while expecting record delimiter '\n'" in API - using method GET

[Phuong Thao]

Hi guys,
I have a question from my client about an issue regarding the error message related to using the method "GET" in API service-now.
Questions from the client:
Currently, we saw some ‘extra space’ (Special Character) in the "Anonymous Name" field - This field get from a catalog item.
Need to answer for the client:
1. We would like to understand why our API is causing issues in fetching the Data [if any ‘extra space’ or Special Character exists].
2. Is it possible to correct and share the APIs to support such odd cases if exist.

Error message screen-shot:








Please help me resolve this issue. Thank guys so much!

Hi,

if the field data has spaces then possibly during the GET it gets replaced with %20

if the issue is what I mentioned about space getting replaced with %20; then nothing can be done
