So it's not the unknown character that's acting up, but the comma, if so, I'm not sure how to solve this with some code. I'm also not sure why it gives the error, some other lines (e.g., 'timecreated') also end with a comma. –Jim Raynor Oct 19 '15 at 3:21 Possible duplicate of Error parsing JSON file with the jsonlite package –miken32 Aug 22 at 22:42 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote For my purpose, reading with readLines and then parsing it seemed to work readlines <- readLines(link, warn = FALSE) parse <- fromJSON(readlines) I have no idea why and how

Try to fill out startkey/endkey field with [] and you will not see the error. I think the best thing we can do is to add link somewhere in th
