Troubleshooting

Check:
  • Provider endpoint is spelled correctly
  • Required parameters are provided
  • Parameter values are in correct format
  • Data exists for the requested query
  • Provider service is available
  • Try with simpler query first
Verify:
  • The endpoint supports the data fields you need
  • Data exists for that specific entity
  • You’re using the correct endpoint for your needs
  • Review endpoint documentation for available fields
  • Try a different, more comprehensive endpoint
Solutions:
  • Ask worker to list all available endpoints for the provider
  • Review endpoint descriptions carefully
  • Try multiple endpoints to compare results
  • Describe your data needs and ask for recommendation
  • Check provider documentation for guidance
Consider:
  • Some data updates in real-time, some is delayed
  • Cross-reference with other sources
  • Check timestamp of data retrieval
  • Verify you’re querying the right entity (ticker symbol, address, etc.)
  • Some providers cache data for performance
Best practices:
  • Space out requests instead of making many at once
  • Use batch endpoints when available
  • Cache frequently accessed data
  • Schedule large data collections during off-peak times
  • Consider if you really need all the data

​
Privacy and Compliance

Important Considerations:
  • Only access publicly available data
  • Respect platform terms of service
  • Don’t scrape personal information beyond public profiles
  • Be mindful of data privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA)
