Fix API Status Checker Setup Issues
API Status Checker can return weak or inconsistent output when the target URL, crawler access, or baseline metadata is misconfigured. Use this checklist to stabilize setup before deeper analysis.
Common causes
- Wrong URL format or mixed protocol variants (http/https).
- Important paths blocked in robots or by firewall/CDN rules.
- Missing baseline assets (llms.txt, tools.json, sitemap, schema).
How to fix
- Normalize URL and test canonical destination first.
- Allow required bot/user-agent access for this check path.
- Re-run after baseline files are reachable and return 200.
Common errors
ValidationError: Invalid input payload in api-status-checkerFetchError: Timeout while requesting target URL for api-status-checkerParseError: Unsupported response format detected by api-status-checker
FAQ
- Why does API Status Checker return weak results?
- Weak results usually indicate missing baseline signals (crawlability, schema, or clean input). Validate prerequisites and rerun the check.
- How do I improve API Status Checker reliability in production?
- Use stable URLs, valid structured data, and consistent machine-readable files. Re-test after each fix to confirm signal improvement.
