==== 🛠 How to Fix / Workaround ====

===== ✅ 1. Force UTF-8 parsing =====

In your HTTP Request node:
# Set Response Format → String
# Add header: </code>`<code> Accept-Charset: utf-8 <syntaxhighlight>3. If you have control over headers, also add: </syntaxhighlight> Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 <syntaxhighlight>
This explicitly tells n8n to parse the response as UTF-8.

===== ✅ 2. Try reading raw binary and converting manually =====

Instead of interpreting it as JSON/text immediately, you can do:
# In HTTP Request node: - Response Format → Buffer/Binary
# Pass buffer into a Function Node: </syntaxhighlight>js const buf = items[0].binary.data; // adjust if different key const str = buf.toString('utf8'); // enforce UTF-8 return [{ json: JSON.parse(str) }]; </code>`` This ensures the text is decoded as UTF-8 manually.

===== ✅ 3. Check Shopify API pagination =====

If you’re requesting fewer products via pagination (e.g., cursors), the API might return slightly different content or headers. Make sure both requests use the same Accept headers as in the working larger request.

===== 📌 Extra Tips =====

✔️ Use the latest Shopify GraphQL / REST endpoints — older ones can sometimes omit proper charset headers.
✔️ If possible, test the same requests using curl and inspect the raw headers — this will confirm whether the charset header is missing.
✔️ Always set your HTTP Request node to explicitly expect UTF-8 when dealing with Unicode text.
