Troubleshooting

Data provider call fails or returns error

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

Returned data is incomplete or missing fields

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

Can't find the right 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

Data seems outdated or inaccurate

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

Rate limit or quota exceeded

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)
Don’t use data for harassment or surveillance
Maintain ethical standards in data collection
Consider data retention policies
