Troubleshooting

📄️ Authentication

Authentication issues usually arise due to incorrect headers, omission of the authorization header, or problems with URL parameters. If you encounter a 401 error, it's usually related to issues with your Authorization header. The most common issues are:

📄️ HTTP Status Codes

📄️ Multiple IP Addresses

If your account is blocked, you do not need to contact support. The block will automatically resolve after 5 minutes if you stop making API requests. Simply wait 5 minutes without making any requests from the blocked IP address, then resume with a single device or IP address.
