Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Empty or null response The API may not have data for a specific exam type or the schedule has not been published yet.
Check if the exam board name you are querying is spelled correctly and that the schedule period is currently available.
Connection timeout The unofficial server may be temporarily down or rate-limiting requests.
Wait a few minutes and retry. Consider caching responses locally to reduce repeated requests.
CORS error in browser Cross-Origin Resource Sharing may not be enabled for all browser clients.
Make requests from a server-side environment (Node.js) or use a proxy to avoid CORS restrictions.
