Infrastructure behavior

This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.

Proxy strategy: managed automatically where needed
Browser rendering: enabled for supported targets that require rendered HTML or JavaScript execution
Browser cluster: supported dynamic workloads can be routed through distributed browser instances
Retry behavior: automatic retry/fallback may be used depending on endpoint type
Challenge handling: challenged pages or unusable upstream HTML are detected and surfaced clearly when they cannot be used
Billing: credits are charged only for successful 2xx responses
Observability: responses include request context where available

Response behavior

- Upstream token, app config, or Pathfinder failures return `502`. - The response includes normalized section titles, item metadata, image assets, external Spotify URLs, and fetch metadata. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "timeZone": "UTC", "greeting": "Good evening", "sections": [ { "title": "Shows to try", "items": [ { "uri": "spotify:show:1QQJ7FElLE0K6CIfZNCxU4", "type": "Podcast", "title": "Example Show", "imageUrl": "https://i.scdn.co/image/example", "externalUrl": "https://open.spotify.com/show/1QQJ7FElLE0K6CIfZNCxU4" } ] } ], "meta": { "operationName": "home", "appVersion": "1.2.90.373.g86862e17", "sectionCount": 1, "fetchedAt": "2026-05-13T15:22:41Z" } } } ```

Error behavior

Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.

Status	Common failure case
400	Invalid input or missing required parameter
429	Plan or endpoint rate limit exceeded
500	Internal execution error
502	Upstream platform failed, returned unusable HTML, or served a challenge page that could not be resolved

When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can retry, back off, or inspect the request.
