Common Problems & Solutions
"Invalid API key" error
Cause: Your API key is wrong, expired, or doesn't have the right permissions. Fix: Double-check your API key. Make sure you copied it exactly without extra spaces.
"Rate limit exceeded" error
Cause: You've hit the API's rate limits. Fix: Wait a few minutes, then try again. Consider reducing the number of concurrent requests.
Empty or incomplete results
Cause: The target may have anti-scraping protection or the data doesn't exist. Fix:
- Check if the URL/search query is correct
- Try with different parameters
- Some sites may block automated access
Demo data showing instead of real results
Cause: demoMode is still set to true.
Fix: Set demoMode: false and provide your API key(s).
