Troubleshooting

Situation	What it means	What to do
No profiles are processed	The supplied values are not valid profile URLs or usernames.	Use a public profile URL or a username with letters, numbers, periods, and underscores only.
A profile has 404 Not Found	The profile was not available at the checked public URL.	Confirm the username and try again later.
A profile has Failed (Blocked)	The profile could not be checked during this run.	Start with a small batch and retry the profile in a later run.
An optional field is null	That information was not publicly available at collection time.	Keep the null value; the actor does not invent replacements.
Two snapshots differ	Profile counts and text can change over time.	Compare records by username and retain the run date in your own workflow.
A large batch is incomplete	Some profiles may be unavailable or the 250-profile run limit may have been reached.	Split larger collections into smaller batches and review each dataset.
