Hey everyone,
I’ve been struggling with something that’s probably frustrating many of you building automation tools with the API. No matter how explicitly I instruct my assistant to generate only JSON output, it insists on wrapping the response in markdown code blocks like this:
json** { "property": "value" } **
This breaks my automation pipeline because I need raw JSON without the markdown formatting.
The Problem
Even with clear instructions like:
Mandatory technical rules for JSON format
- Do not include markdown code blocks (```json)
- Properly escape all special characters (", , /, \n, \r, \t)
- Convert all line breaks to \n
- Preserve visual structure with “\n” for line breaks and numbering for lists
- Do not add text outside the JSON object
- The “mensaje” field must be a single properly escaped line, but maintaining readable structure
- Example format for lists:
"mensaje": "Te recomiendo los siguientes productos:\n1. Heladera Comercial Línea ITALY\n2. Exhibidora Vertical\n3. Cámaras Frigoríficas\n\nPodés ver más detalles en nuestra web: https://www.defrancesco.com.ar/"
Has anyone else found other reliable solutions for this common issue?
