REST sensor not working anymore

Configuration
1

I used to have a working rest sensor but for some releases now, it complains that it cannot parse the json.

This is my configuration:

sensor:
  - platform: rest
    name: Aantal activiteiten Tienen
    resource: https://www.tienen.be/~datasource/solr/select?rows=1&q=*%3A*&q.op=AND&fq=ego_module%3Aevent%20AND%20recurring_event_bs%3Afalse%20AND%20ego_site%3A1%20AND%20ego_publishState%3A1%20AND%20ego_language%3A1%20AND%20-category_ids%3A65052%20AND%20event_date_from_dts%3A%5BNOW%20TO%20NOW%2B1DAY%2FDAY%5D%20%20AND%20ego_publishFrom%3A%5B*%20TO%20NOW%5D%20AND%20-ego_publishTill%3A%5B*%20TO%20NOW%5D&fq=(ego_isSecured_is%3A0%20OR%20((ego_isSecured_is%3A2%20OR%20ego_isSecured_is%3A3)%20AND%20-*%3A*)%20OR%20(ego_isSecured_is%3A1%20AND%20-*%3A*%20AND%20entity_id%3A0)%20OR%20(*%3A*%20-ego_isSecured_is%3A%5B*%20TO%20*%5D))&facet=true&facet.method=enum&facet.limit=1000&group=true&group.field=ego_id&group.ngroups=true&group.facet=true&sort=recurring_event_bs%20asc%2C%20event_date_from_dts%20asc%2C%20title%20asc&wt=json

I off-course checked the url’s and the endpoints are up. I expect 2 sensors where one of them has an attribute called grouped that contains a huge json value

This is the HA warning:

2021-04-12 15:54:11 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.rest.sensor] REST result could not be parsed as JSON

What am I doing wrong? Thanks again?

Try commenting out the second sensor.

I checked both resources and while they both did appear to return valid json, that second (huge!) response contains some weird characters.

Thanks for the swift response but also with only the first sensor, I have the same problem. The sensor is also marked as unavailable in the developer tools.

I don’t really understand why as the Json is valid.
