api exception returning html

I am making api calls to myob accountright (most recent version) and some exceptions are returning with HTML with no extra information (for security reasons) it looks like a standard .net message

 

Given I have no control over the MYOB side how is it best to get standard json error responses with my api calls?

 

Error message follows:

 

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off"

 

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

    Hi njames 

     

    I’d recommend taking a look at our API support page, which is not only the central repository for all documentation around the API, but also you can submit a request for assistance to our team who look after the API and are able to provide assistance with it.
