Common Errors & Troubleshooting

JSON parsing error Attempting to parse a non-JSON response if the server is temporarily unavailable
Check response.status before calling response.json() and log the raw text to see what was returned
404 Not Found on character endpoint Using an incorrect character slug in the URL
First fetch /characters to get the correct slug list, then use exact slugs like eddard_stark
Rate limit exceeded Sending too many requests in a short period from automation scripts
Add a small delay (e.g. 500ms) between requests in loops to stay within fair-use limits
