Common Errors & Troubleshooting

404 Not Found Using a character ID that is out of range (characters are numbered 0-52).
Fetch all characters first with /api/v2/Characters to get valid IDs before requesting individuals.
CORS error in browser Calling the API from a local HTML file without a web server.
Serve your HTML from a local server (e.g., npx serve .) or use a CORS proxy for testing.
Image URL broken The imageUrl field points to an external resource that may have moved.
Always check the imageUrl before displaying it and provide a fallback image in your UI.
