Generic Extractor returns: Invalid JSON response from API: JSON decode error: Syntax error, malformed JSON

Hi All. 

I am working with an API login endpoint that returns a token in exchange for a username and password.

I am struggling to parse the response from the API call and am receiving the error  Invalid JSON response from API: JSON decode error: Syntax error, malformed JSON.

This is presumably because the response is not a json object, but rather a string. 

 

How should this be handled?
