[Request] Error handling

Closed

inca opened this issue
8 months ago

I would like to inquire if it is feasible to include error reporting in the output format. Specifically, in cases where a profile does not exist, could we adopt the following format?

{ "url": "url being collected", "input": "based on the input handle/url", "error": "This profile does not exist" }

Furthermore, I am interested to know if there are any other types of errors currently being reported under the key "error".

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hi,

thanks for your suggestions, we'll discuss it within the team and let you know what can be done. It looks it won't be that hard to implement.

Hi. Thanks for the issue, this format has been added for the most common error types (although instead of "error" we have "note" for backwards compatibility): The possible "note" values include:

  • 'Channel does not exist'
  • 'The channel has no videos so far.'
  • 'The channel has no live videos.'
  • 'The channel has no shorts.'
  • 'No videos were collected due to date filtering.'
  • 'No videos found on the page.'
  • 'No results were collected during scrape - make sure video limits are set above 0'
