Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Empty array response [] The filter combination (brand + product_type) returns no matches
✓ Try broader filters, for example use only product_type without specifying a brand.
Mixed content warning in browser The API URL uses HTTP (not HTTPS)
✓ If your app requires HTTPS, proxy the request through your server or look for HTTPS mirror support.
CORS error in browser Some browsers block cross-origin HTTP requests from HTTPS pages
✓ Fetch from a Node.js backend or use a CORS proxy for client-side development.
