Hi Plaid

It sounds like the app's backend call to /link/token/create might have failed -- can you verify that you successfully created a link token? You should be able to check your logs at https://dashboard.plaid.com/developers/logs. If the call failed, an error code for the failure should be in the logs.

I am getting this error when trying to call create_link_token

error catch create_link_token LOG [SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unexpected character: <]

IIRC, the Plaid Environment should be sandbox production or development (and development is going away next month). Try using sandbox for now and see if that helps.

i am using sandbox but issue persists

Also, make sure the .env.example file is renamed to .env.

I'm going to close this out since it's a bit old -- if anyone else is seeing the same issue, please re-open a new issue.
