Dynamic Input Tool to read Json file

Can we use dynamic tool to read json from temp file created by download tool ? Seems like UTF-8 conversion issue ? I am getting no data found a character 0. Tried block until done as suggested by some when parsing excel file.

It is possible to use the Dynamic Input to read JSON files. Since you are getting that error, which is most likely related to encoding, you can try reading it as a .csv with \0 delimiter, then parse the data from there.

Thanks, I changed the Code Type in Dynamic input to UTF-8. it worked. But your response helped to trigger that thought. Much appriceated.
