​
Common Issues & Troubleshooting

​
I received a 403 Forbidden error.

  • Check if your API key is valid and has sufficient permissions.
  • Ensure you have available credits for the requested operation.
  • If using a protected endpoint, confirm you have the necessary access rights.

​
I received a 400 Bad Request error.

  • Verify that all request parameters are formatted correctly.
  • Ensure the required fields are included in the request.

​
I received a 429 Too Many Requests error.

  • You have exceeded the rate limit for API calls. Implement exponential backoff before retrying.
  • Monitor your API usage and consider upgrading your plan if needed.

​
I received a 500 Internal Server Error.

  • This could indicate a temporary issue on our side. Try again later, and if the problem persists, contact support with your correlation ID.
