Trying to extract JSON data from an existing MSO controller in order to later design and document a migration to NDO

Hi guys

Here is my main.tf file
This is MSO 3.1.1 and Terrafrom 1.9.8

terraform {
  required_providers {
    mso = {
      source = "CiscoDevNet/mso"
    }
  }
}
provider "mso" {
    # cisco-mso user name
    username = "admin"
    # cisco-mso password
    password = "Cisco1234567!"
    # cisco-mso url
    url      = "https://1.1.1.1"
    domain   = "domain-name"
    insecure = true
    platform = "nd"
}

resource "mso_label" "label1" {
   label = "label1"
   type  = "site"
 }

no matter what I do I am getting an error like below. I initial try to use the import command and I was getting this Error: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value only. After trying to actually create an object I get a little bit more about the line that is causing the error but it is still the same, please see below

Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution plan. Resource actions are indicated with the
following symbols:
  + create

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # mso_label.label1 will be created
  + resource "mso_label" "label1" {
      + id    = (known after apply)
      + label = "label1"
      + type  = "site"
    }

Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
mso_label.label1: Creating...
╷
│ Error: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value
│
│   with mso_label.label1,
│   on main.tf line 20, in resource "mso_label" "label1":
│   20: resource "mso_label" "label1" {
│
╵

What could be the reason for the above?

Sorted this out

provider "mso" {
# cisco-mso user name
username = "admin"
# cisco-mso password
password = "password"
# cisco-mso url
url = "https://173.36.219.193/"
domain = "domain-name"
insecure = true
platform = "nd"
}

in my case the platform needed to be mso
