Title: Solved: Github hosted JSON files for ALIAS's
Post by: Giz on November 04, 2025, 10:25:13 PM
Hello All

I appear to be having issues getting an ALIAS in URL Table in JSON format (IPs) to populate (read) from github
I followed procedures on the github side, I created json file with proper syntax & improper syntax (exactly like Spamhaus)
But I get nothing in Alias, always sits at 0 entries when it should be 41

Sample Entry: {"ip4":"87.236.176.118","hostname":"meritorious.monitoring.internet-measurement.com","ip6":""}

In Alias I set it up exactly like the docs say to do Spamhaus and path expression is set to ip4
If I paste the link I use in Contents in browser I get the file.

Not sure what the issue may be or where to look next

Problem Solved:

Turns out there was an email at my gmail that some issue failed in the workflow even though it looked good.
I had to make a useless /doc folder and put any old file in it, went with an index.html and rerun the workflow
edited the alias, no change and saved and it loaded properly
