Invalid parameters

How to recognize it

The API answers with status 422 and a JSON body with the message, for example:

HTTP/1.1 422
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "message": "Validation error"
}

Common causes

• A value outside its bounds: quality outside 0 to 100, a viewport outside its size limits, more than 50 hide_selectors.
• A URL that is not a valid http or https URL: The url field must be a valid URL., or Only http and https URLs are allowed. for a well-formed URL with another scheme, such as ftp://.
• HTML input with problems: both or neither of url and html, html over 5 MB, or html in the query string instead of a JSON body.
• A PDF whose pdf_page_ranges select no page of the document: The pdf_page_ranges select no page of the rendered document.

How to fix it

1. Read the errors object and fix the named parameters.
2. Check the limits in the take reference.
