Network Error

It is an API error returned when the API cannot connect to the target host.

{
    "is_successful": false,
    "error_code": "network_error",
    "error_message": "The error happens when the API can't connect to the provided URL. It might mean that the site blocks the API or is temporarily unavailable. Generally, you can safely retry to take a screenshot.",
    "documentation_url": "https://screenshotone.com/docs/errors/network-error/"
}

Reasons and how to fix

Proxy issues

If you use an external proxy, make sure that it has access to the target host.

Also, often when you use proxy providers, you might not notice that you don’t have sufficient credits to keep using proxy.

We noticed that for some providers, you sometimes need to recreate your proxy user/account to make it work again.

The API is under heavy load

Rarely but under heavy load, ScreenshotOne API might fail to connect to target hosts. In that case, retry requests.
