Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

404 Not Found The endpoint path or item ID does not exist or the API has changed.

✓ Refer to the GitHub wiki for the current endpoint list and verify the item ID is valid.

Empty or stale data GW2Spidy caches data and may lag behind the live game market.

✓ Build in refresh logic and display a "last updated" timestamp to users.

Connection timeout The community server may be temporarily down.

✓ Implement retry logic with exponential backoff and notify the user if the service is unavailable.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
