Hi @Raj_007 

The "Invalid value. at character position: 1" message normally occurs when there is no data for the JSON Parse tool to handle.  This is probably caused by the Download Tool not being able to get the data.  Use a Message box tool to write the Download Headers column of your Download tool to the log file and set an "after run with errors" event to email you.  The email will automatically attach the output log so you'll be able to see the error returned by the remote server

Thank you so much Danilang - you are right something wrong with the download headers but the way it generated the message was not helpful in identifying

Thank you so much for your time
