I'm using angular 8. And I'm sending an Esri request to a specific Url.

Here's as snippet of my Code:

Here's the error I'm having when trying to view the response returned by the request:

After googling it, I found out that the response returned by the Esri Request is nothing but the HTML page of the Data I want, and not a Json of the Data.

Here's the response:

So what's the wrong thing I'm doing here ??

Update your request options to tell the service to send a json response.

{
  query: {
    f: "json"
  },
  responseType: "json"
}

If not, the server just assumes you want the regular HTML page. You can see how it works in this sample.

You get the html page because you are not asking for json. Add the "f" (format) value to the "query" options parameter:

esriRequest(url,{query:{f:"json"}}).then(...);
