SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0 from google alert link

Ionic Framework ionic-v3

Hello,

I have a problem when making a feed list from google alert link such as below:


this.http.get('https://www.google.com/alerts/feeds/12580094399189786947/2757509485669966056').map(res => res.json()).subscribe((posts) => {
	    console.log(posts);
	    this.list = posts;
    }, (err) => {
	    console.log(err);
    });

Error Message on Console:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0

How I can fix it?

Well, don’t call json() on it. It isn’t JSON.

So What I should do now?

Either find a different source for the data that is actually JSON, or figure out some way to parse what is coming from that URL, which looks like RSS to me.
