REST connector can't parse JSON

I have created a REST connection to an API with the built-in connector. I have tested that the connection works and I am authenticated.

When I try to use the connection QlikSense can't parse the JSON response. 

I get the following error: Cannot parse data in the selected response type. Check the "Response Type" parameter value.

I know that the response is JSON and I have tried selecting the other response types and Qlik cannot parse either of those as well.

My current theory is that Qlik does not like the way the JSON response is formatted. That it looks for a "root" with the response nested underneath.

Any help is appreciated

Hi

 

I have still not solved the issue.

We use a temporary workaround. I receive the JSON response in a Python script and dump a csv file for QlikSense to consume. This works but we would like to keep the solution in our Qlik framework.
