API Error: JSON Parse error: Unable to parse JSON string

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by investigating and fixing the JSON parsing error in the Anthropics API or the Claude Code application.

Guidance

• Verify the JSON data being sent to the API is correctly formatted and can be parsed without errors.
• Check the API documentation for any recent changes to the expected JSON format or parsing rules.
• Test the API request with a tool like curl or Postman to isolate the issue and confirm if it's specific to the Claude Cowork desktop UI.
• If the issue is confirmed to be a regression, try to identify the last working version of the Claude Code or Anthropics API to pinpoint the change causing the error.

Example

No code example is provided due to lack of specific implementation details in the issue.

Notes

The solution may require collaboration with the Anthropics API team or further investigation into the Claude Code application's JSON parsing logic. Without more information on the specific JSON data or the last working version, it's challenging to provide a precise fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the lack of information about the last working version and the specifics of the JSON error, applying a workaround such as manually validating and formatting the JSON data before sending it to the API might be the most feasible immediate step.
