Why Postman return unminified JSON Response?

Question

I am new with Postman. For testing purpose, I send a GET call on openweathermap.org API and I well receive a JSON response.

The problem is that the Json response body is minified and not easily readable as show in below example.

{"coord":{"lon":2.35,"lat":48.85},"weather":[{"id":803,"main":"Clouds","description":"broken clouds","icon":"04d"}],"base":"stations","main":{"temp":286.13,"feels_like":283.45,"temp_min":285.37,"temp_max":287.04,"pressure":1011,"humidity":84},"visibility":10000,"wind":{"speed":4.02,"deg":43,"gust":9.39},"clouds":{"all":84},"dt":1603881793,"sys":{"type":3,"id":2012208,"country":"FR","sunrise":1603866690,"sunset":1603903021},"timezone":3600,"id":2988507,"name":"Paris","cod":200}

Changing between Pretty / Raw tabs doesn't change anything, nor forcing JSON format in Pretty tab. In response headers, Content-Type : application/json is well present.

On a own developped API, the Json response body is well unminified so I don't understand what could be the issue.

Is anybody faced the same problem and found a solution ? Thanks in advance

I've just tested and the response JSON is well-formatted and beautified. I am using Postman desktop version v7.34.0 on Windows 10.

Created an API key for api.openweathermap.org and I send the request like that:

• GET request
• URL: api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Paris,fr&appid={{openWeatherAPIkey}} testing with Paris as a city, based on your response JSON.
• One header Accept: application/json.

The response is:

{
    "coord": {
        "lon": 2.35,
        "lat": 48.85
    },
    "weather": [
        {
            "id": 800,
            "main": "Clear",
            "description": "clear sky",
            "icon": "01d"
        }
    ],
    "base": "stations",
    "main": {
        "temp": 289.9,
        "feels_like": 287.87,
        "temp_min": 289.15,
        "temp_max": 290.93,
        "pressure": 1017,
        "humidity": 77
    },
    "visibility": 10000,
    "wind": {
        "speed": 4.1,
        "deg": 190
    },
    "clouds": {
        "all": 0
    },
    "dt": 1604152275,
    "sys": {
        "type": 1,
        "id": 6550,
        "country": "FR",
        "sunrise": 1604126177,
        "sunset": 1604161918
    },
    "timezone": 3600,
    "id": 2988507,
    "name": "Paris",
    "cod": 200
}

If you have tried all that and the problem still persists, probably it's a bug. I've went through all Postman settings and there is nothing possible to cause the issues.

The only difference is at the time of that writing the last Postman version is: v7.34.0
