This error usually means the JSON contains a field that doesn't exist in your Go struct, or the field names don't match (case-sensitive). Ensure your struct field names exactly match the JSON keys, or use struct tags (`json:"key_name"`) to map JSON keys to struct fields. Also, check for extra or unexpected fields in the JSON.
