Troubleshooting
Common issues and their solutions when using blosm's tools and API.
Authentication Errors (401)
Cause: Invalid or missing API key.
Solution: Verify your API key in the Authorization header. Generate a new key from your dashboard if needed.
Connection Timeouts
Cause: Network restrictions or proxy issues.
Solution: Ensure your network allows outbound HTTPS connections. Try switching to a different proxy or disabling VPN briefly to test.
Rate Limited (429)
Cause: Exceeded your plan's request quota.
Solution: Wait for the rate limit window to reset. Check your dashboard for remaining quota. Consider upgrading to Elite for unlimited requests.
Claim Failed
Cause: Username was taken between check and claim.
Solution: Enable real-time monitoring to claim instantly when a username drops. Use the auto-claim engine with shorter polling intervals.
False Positives / Negatives
Cause: Discord API caching or rate limiting.
Solution: Use our bulk check endpoint with randomized delays. Enable the proxy rotation feature for more reliable results.
