Nested JSON has a query parameters bug

    First of all I want to say that this is a gret plugin!
    Thank you for creating it!
    I have found a small bug on the full version of the plugin.
    I have tried the free version and the “nested JSON” option was working perfectly,
    When i started to use the full version, “nested JSON” stop accepting query parameters in “Input JSON URL” field. I get “Error! Unable to retrieve results” when I click “Get JSON roots” or “Conflict Error” when I click Save changes.
    Example of JSON URL:
    https://data.gov.il/api/3/action/datastore_search?resource_id=2de7b543-e13d-4e7e-b4c8-56071bc4d3c8&limit=1000
    https://prnt.sc/ToYMoCA_Ph69
    https://prnt.sc/aUE1qjc8FS8g
    When I delete the query parameter (&limit=1000) from the URL, it works fine.
    What i already tried:
    1) Different JSON API urls
    2) Different Server / localhost
    2) Disabling other plugins
    Please check why the query parameters are not accepted on the full version.
    Thanks in advance!

    I have found a ready to use solution for that issue (Till the PRO plugin will be fixed).
    Putting it here if anybody with same issue will need it.

    Add this code in your functions.php theme file:

    add_action( 'parse_request', 'simplify_nested_json', 0 );
function simplify_nested_json( $wp ) {
    // Check if the request is /simplify-json
    if ( 'simplify-json' !== $wp->request ) {
        return;
    }
$url ='https://data.gov.il/api/3/action/datastore_search?resource_id=2de7b543-e13d-4e7e-b4c8-56071bc4d3c8&limit=3000';
$JSON = file_get_contents($url);
// echo the JSON (you can echo this to JavaScript to use it there)
// You can decode it to process it in PHP
$data = json_decode($JSON);
    // Array version of the JSON data.
    // Send headers.
    status_header( 200 );
    nocache_headers();
    header( 'Content-Type: application/pkcs7-mime' );
    // And serve the JSON data.
     echo wp_json_encode($data->result->records );
    exit;
}

    This code turns the nested JSON to a flat one.
    * Change the $url with your required API URL.
    * Change this part $data->result->records with the rout to the requested part of the JSON
    * Add https://yoursite.com/simplify-json “Input JSON URL” field.
