API Action throw error on failed JSON decode feature request - in this case, for NodeJS.
Example incident:
2022-10-07T22:38:56.516025928Z SyntaxError: Unexpected token N in JSON at position 619

This is a silent error, only discoverable by looking at logs. This feature request is to explicitly throw an error if such error occurs. Failure to throw an error on failed JSON decode may lead to unpredictable app behaviour, such as Repeat steps acting erroneously due to no longer iterating an array, but a string
This particular error happened with a JSON containing a “NaN” value, which I guess is not JSON-compliant - fixes have been applied on the API being queried to prevent the return of NaN values
