My code snippet. def make_request(path, params) do url = construct_url(path, params) headers = [] case HTTPoison.get(url, headers) do {:ok, %HTTPoison.Response{status_code: 200, body: body}} -> case Poison.decode(body) do {:ok, decoded} -> {:ok, decoded} …

Then you can’t use simple Poison.decode(body) since Poison expects string whereas what you pass in is its compressed version. Try to decompress it first, sth like :zlib.gunzip(body), however first you should probably check if the response includes the following header: Content-Encoding: gzip

I suppose this can be about compressing the data your receive. Can HTTPoison decompress it on its own? I had a quick look at documentation and didn’t find anything about that. Have you tested your code with the Content-Type header only?

I think that issue could be about Poison.decode/1? Not sure if HTTPoison uncompresses the body. If not, you need to decompress it before you parse it, because ASCII 31 isn’t a valid string character. Not sure if this is the case. The first 32 characters in the ASCII-table are unprintable control c…

Long shot, but your 2nd snippet looks like it is using magic quotes? Is that what you’re using, or is that an artifact from something else?

Yes, but It working with Content-Type header only.

No, I am not using magic quotes just the code snippet is showing as magic quotes in this forum.

okay, will try this out. Content-Encoding: gzip is present Thanks.

Thanks @Jacek , It worked, just pasting the code below for future reference if someone get stuck here. def make_request(path, params) do url = construct_url(path, params) headers = [ {"Accept-Encoding","gzip, deflate"},{"Content-Type", "application/json"} ] case HTTPoison.get…
