Common Errors & Troubleshooting

404 Not Found Incorrect language prefix in the URL path
Use telugu or odia as the language segment — for example /telugu/chapters, not /tel/chapters
Empty verse array Requesting a chapter number higher than 18
The Bhagavad Gita has 18 chapters; chapter numbers above 18 return no results
CORS error in browser fetch Some Vercel deployments may have intermittent CORS headers
If blocked, proxy the request through a lightweight backend or use a serverless function to relay it
