@shivamn - There is a general default filter rule for denying json extension requests as below -

# Deny content grabbing for greedy queries and prevent un-intended self DOS attacks
/0017 { /type "deny" /selectors '(feed|rss|pages|languages|blueprint|infinity|tidy|sysview|docview|query|[0-9-]+|jcr:content)' /extension '(json|xml|html|feed)' }

But these rules are valid on Dispatcher and not Author instance (4502).

    Hi,

     

    To block requests for URLs ending with ".json" on the Dispatcher, add the following rule in the dispatcher.any file:

     

    / {
    /type "deny"
    /url "*.json"
    }

     

    Restart the Dispatcher service for the changes to take effect.
