<class 'json.decoder.JSONDecodeError'>

For some reason, I am getting a lot of these issues.

I am loading the text from .txt for context
bob_dylan.txt

Error:
<class 'json.decoder.JSONDecodeError'>

Would it be possible that I need to parse the text through a json first before sending it off? Or is this a problem in the response? Are all characters accepted?
