Best Practices & Advanced Tips
- Secure Your API Key: Your AvesAPI key is a credential. Always use the SmythOS
Vault
to store it securely. - Refine Your Queries: Use specific country and language codes to get the most accurate SERP data for your target audience.
- Parse the
response
Output: Theorganic_results
output is convenient, but the fullresponse
object contains a wealth of extra information, such as "People Also Ask," "Related Searches," and "Knowledge Graph" data that can be used for more advanced analysis. - Handle Errors: While AvesAPI handles common scraping issues, network errors can still occur. Build error-handling logic into your agent to manage failed requests gracefully.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
-
Error:
401 Unauthorized
- Cause: The API key is invalid, missing, or has been disabled.
- Solution: Verify that the API key in your SmythOS Vault is correct and matches the one in your AvesAPI profile. Ensure your AvesAPI account is active.
-
Error:
402 Payment Required
- Cause: You have run out of credits in your AvesAPI account.
- Solution: Log in to your AvesAPI dashboard to check your credit balance and top up if necessary.
-
Empty
organic_results
Array- Cause: The query may have genuinely returned no organic results for the specified parameters, or the query itself was blocked for other reasons.
- Solution: Test the query in your browser to ensure it's valid. Check the full
response
object for any error messages or details from AvesAPI.
