Getting an "Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0" when trying to get reviews
checking the response from the itunes url
const url = https://itunes.apple.com/${opts.country}/rss/customerreviews/page=${opts.page}/id=${id}/sortby=${opts.sort}/json;
im getting this HTML :
<body onload="return its.detect.openItunes('https://itunes.apple.com/us/store?ign-mscache=1');">
<!-- InternetExplorer ActiveX Component (must have non-zero width/height!) -->
<object classID="CLSID:D719897A-B07A-4C0C-AEA9-9B663A28DFCB" width="1" height="1" id="iTunesDetectorIE" ></object>
<div id="loadingbox-wrapper">
<div class="loadingbox">
<p class="title">Connecting to the iTunes Store.<span id="loading-dots">..</span></p>
<div class="clear"></div>
<!-- User Override Panel.
By default, we show this panel so users with javascript disabled can click through
to the store. If javascript is enabled, the code snippet at the bottom of the div
will hide the panel. AFTER that, if the check for iTunes yields indeterminate results,
this panel will be unhidden by the script in itmsCheck.js.
Don't change the id of this div; it's used by itmsCheck.js

I have created a TypeScript version. This one works well. Please check it out.
