I am trying to create my first Logic app to filter a query from a third party API service.
The third party API responds with both a SearchSummary (Object) and Data (Array) items.
I want to return only the Data array in my response, but keep getting an error:
{
"error": {
"code": "NoResponse",
"message": "The server did not receive a response from an upstream server. Request tracking id '08584773567277623430271089584CU00'."
}
}
If I change the variable assignment from @body('Parse_JSON')?['Data'] to @body('Parse_JSON')?['SearchSummary'] then the SearchSummary returns fine. I've tried appending .items to the value but that also doesn't help.
When I return length(@body('Parse_JSON')?['Data']) in my response, it does return an accurate number so there are definitely items there.
Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong?
Here is the code view from my app:

Your workflow fails because it is stateless, not stateful, and the content size of your variable OnlineContacts exceeds the maximum allowed size of 1024 bytes. Please refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/edit-app-settings-host-settings#variables to update the maximum configured value.
Alternatively, you can try using a Compose action instead of the variable in your stateless workflow, if your scenario allows it. This constructs a single output and avoids the limitations associated with variable content.
