Common Errors & Troubleshooting

404 Not Found Character or item name was spelled incorrectly or used spaces instead of hyphens
First call /characters to get the exact list of valid slugs, then use those exact strings in subsequent requests
Missing image URLs in response Some older or unreleased characters have incomplete image assets
Check if the image field is null before building an img tag, and provide a fallback placeholder image
CORS error in browser Browser security may block requests from localhost during development
The API supports CORS, but ensure you are using https:// in your request URL, not http://
