Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1
I hope I can explain this fully :)
I have a web service URL that accepts a JSON string from a 3rd party application but it is failing with the above error.
Two things to note:
1. if I configure the 3rd party app to send to a public testing URL (http://requestb.in) it seems to work just fine
2. If I copy the raw body and test it directly on my server, it also works perfectly and return a 200 response
However, when I configure the 3rd party app to send to my URL my service returns 500 response. I have added the application/json mime type to IIS.
I'm sure the issue is on my end but I'm at a loss as to how to troubleshoot this further
The attached image shows the test screen and the resulting 200 response
Any help would be greatly appreciated

at your web service, did it provide a sample on how the request parameters should look like?
also, what's your 3rd party app? is it in .net, java, php, etc?

The 3rd party app is HubSpot (hubspot.com) I have no control over what/how they send the data but I'm certain their POST is correct, it's something my end.
It's just a string parameter, however I'm not sure I should be using a parameter as the data is sent in the RAW BODY?

I'm actually facing similar issue recently but I was managed to fix the issue by applying similar fixes in this link:
Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.
http://www.ipreferjim.com/2014/09/data-at-the-root-level-is-invalid-line-1-position-1/
you can also get some explanation from this article:
Data at the root level is invalid
http://madskristensen.net/post/data-at-the-root-level-is-invalid
both required fixes in coding.
for your case, perhaps you could advise the support from HubSpot (hubspot.com) and see if they can provide you some solutions to solve your issue.
I'm thinking the issue relying on the approach we send the request to your web service.

I think what I need to do here is get the RAW BODY from the request and not a parameter, I've seen several posts using the <FromBody> method but my code doesn't recognize teh keyword for some reason
I've looked at both of those and they don't really answer my question as they are both talking about XML documents and my issue is with a JSON format string.
my web service is just about as simple as it gets, it does no processing and simply return a 200.
But when I POST the JSON string to it I get the Data at the root level is invalid error
This is the web method (HttpPost)
Can't get much simpler than that :(

can this web service be accessible publicly?
on a separate note, are you able to use test tool such as "Postman"?
https://www.getpostman.com/
you can try to test your web service there, and if the posting is succeeded, can you show me what is inside the dialog after clicking the "Generate Code"?
and see if you could get a status 200 as the response status?

Ryan,
I tested using postman and still got a 500 error :(
Here's what I used: unfortunately I can'd display the host info :)
POST /HubSpot.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: xxxxxxx.com
Content-Type: application/json
Cache-Control: no-cache
Postman-Token: 190b3c0e-7603-cb90-d567-96
{
"status": "error",
"message": "contact does not exist",
"correlationId": "7d60e72c-98f4-4ca4-916e-8
"requestId": "30770fba-1ded-4d9f-8d2e-0
}
And here is the result:
