at the end. This string is invalid JSON and causes JSON parsers used by clients to return an error. This string started appearing in the API responses today. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my account or a bug that was introduced by a recently committed code change to your API. Please fix ASAP!

This should be operating correctly now. Thanks for the report.

Thanks!

It would be reassuring to know that there are unit tests to catch this sort of thing before code gets pushed. I'm building an app on top of your platform, and knowing that it could break in the field because of something like this is troubling. Of course servers go down, but it's hard to plan for invalid data coming from what is otherwise a trusted source.

We actually have extensive automated tests against the SOAP based interfaces, but currently our tests against the JSON interfaces are currently only manually initiated. The offending code change was by a developer working on a completely unrelated piece of the codebase so the impact was not anticipated. Appropriate actions will be taken :)

Great! Thanks for the heads-up. I imagine going forward that the JSON interfaces will be the popular choice among developers, so they obviously need good test coverage :)
