Solutions

1. The Jimeng API returned a non-JSON body (usually a gateway or proxy error page). Retry the request after a short backoff.
2. Verify the endpoint URL and network path; if it persists, capture the raw response body to see the upstream error.

When it happens

Trigger: The Jimeng API responds with a non-JSON body (e.g. an HTML error page or gateway error) instead of the expected JSON payload.

Common situations: See trigger scenarios.
