Errors

Possible error responses from the scraping API.

Error Responses#

The ScrapingAnt API uses common HTTP status codes: 2xx range for success, 4xx range for errors caused by the caller (invalid requests) and 5xx range for server errors. Each error response contains a JSON object defining the detail property, which is a string that contains a human-readable error description. For example:

{
  "detail": "Wrong host part of url. Please check out the documentation https://scrapingant.com/documentation/"
}

Error Codes#

Here is the table of the errors that can occur for both GET and POST methods with scraping API:

`403`	The API token is wrong or you have exceeded the API calls request limit
`405`	The API endpoint can only be accessed using the following HTTP methods: GET, POST
`422`	Invalid value provided. Please, look into `detail` for more info
`500`	Something went wrong with the server side code. Rare case. We're recommending to contact us in this case
