nginx returns html instead of json response

[Kaushal Shriyan]

Hi,

I am running the nginx version: nginx/1.22 as a reverse proxy server on
CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core). Is there a way to return json
response when i hit http://mydomain.com/api/v1/* instead of the html
response.

location /api/v1/* {
    internal;
    add_header 'Content-Type' 'application/json charset=UTF-8';

    error_page 502 '{"error": {"status_code": 502,"status": "Bad
Gateway"}}';
}

But whenever I try to send a request to /api/v1/users via curl I get the
HTML source code in response instead of JSON response.

Please guide me. Thanks in advance. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,

Kaushal
