I was excited about using websource modules to consume JSON formatted data and parse it w/o having to write code but came across a strange issue. I'm on APEX 18.2.0.00.12 with a 12.1.0.2 database. The web sourced module does indeed return the JSON data but does not parse the value. I've tested against another web service with the same data that works
perfectly using apex.oracle.com but not with my environment. Interestingly, I am able to parse the value using APEX_JSON functions via sql with no issue. I was hoping to leverage the features of APEX 18 to avoid coding. Screenshots below along with the debug output from APEX. Any ideas?
