API requests respond with an incorrect formating of JSON as it includes a trailing comma after the last object (name/value) on a list and it should only be used as separator.

(this only happens on torn.com/api)

A single comma separates a value from a following name

I noticed this, but never thought to mention it. Is a pain in the ass when trying to look at example outputs

Yes, thats exactly what happened to me, I'm trying to learn some programming at the same time of doing a tool for my faction and I had problems parsing it.

I doubt that. I can only replicate it with TT enabled.

Shit, yep. Same here.

My bad for saying I could replicate it, I forgot about my extensions

Can't replicate it in incognito/private browser

Delete this, I'm just too stupid, disabled TT and probably refreshed another tab or haven't refreshed at all...
