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, client token, or Pathfinder failures return `502`. - Items are normalized with title, subtitle, images, and external Spotify URLs when available. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "uri": "spotify:section:0JQ5IMCbQBLqNPkcmYxQPQ", "offset": 0, "limit": 20, "items": [ { "uri": "spotify:playlist:example", "type": "Playlist", "title": "Example Playlist", "externalUrl": "https://open.spotify.com/playlist/example" } ], "meta": { "operationName": "browseSection", "count": 1, "fetchedAt": "2026-05-13T15:22:41Z" } } } ```

Error behavior

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

StatusCommon failure case
400Invalid input or missing required parameter
429Plan or endpoint rate limit exceeded
500Internal execution error
502Upstream 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.
