It sounds like the app's backend call to /link/token/create might have failed -- can you verify that you successfully created a link token? You should be able to check your logs at https://dashboard.plaid.com/developers/logs. If the call failed, an error code for the failure should be in the logs.

I am getting this error when trying to call create_link_token

error catch create_link_token
LOG [SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unexpected character: <]

IIRC, the Plaid Environment should be sandbox production or development (and development is going away next month). Try using sandbox for now and see if that helps.

Also, make sure the .env.example file is renamed to .env.

I'm going to close this out since it's a bit old -- if anyone else is seeing the same issue, please re-open a new issue.
