Exa Common Errors
Diagnose and resolve Exa API errors across HTTP status codes, error tags, and rate limit exceptions.
The Exa Common Errors skill empowers Claude Code to rapidly troubleshoot failed Exa search and crawler API requests. It provides mapped remediation paths for 4xx and 5xx HTTP status codes, specific error tags (such as INVALID_REQUEST_BODY, ROBOTS_FILTER_FAILED, and CRAWL_TIMEOUT), automated exponential backoff implementations for 429 rate limiting, and bash diagnostic scripts to verify connectivity and API keys safely without leaking sensitive tokens.
Key Features
01Comprehensive mapping of Exa HTTP status codes (400, 401, 402, 403, 422, 429, 5xx) to remediation steps
02Specific error tag diagnosis for request validation, spending limits, content moderation, and crawl failures
03TypeScript exponential backoff retry patterns tailored for handling Exa 429 rate limits
04Per-URL crawl diagnostic resolutions for getContents operations including livecrawl timeouts
05Automated Bash scripts for testing API connectivity and credential validity safely
