Errors

Handle these documented responses before retrying or showing customer-facing failures.

503

Madlan rejected the query

Madlan answered the request but refused to compute it. Branch on `error.code`: this response is not retryable. Nothing is charged for a failed request.

{
    "error": {
        "code": "upstream_rejected",
        "message": "Madlan rejected this query.",
        "retryable": false,
        "http_status": 503
    },
    "success": false
}
503

Madlan refused the request

Madlan answered with a client-side rejection before running the query, for example a bad path or an unsupported document. Retrying the same request changes nothing. Branch on `error.code`: this response is not retryable. Nothing is charged.

{
    "error": {
        "code": "upstream_request_rejected",
        "message": "Madlan rejected this request.",
        "retryable": false,
        "http_status": 503
    },
    "success": false
}
503

Madlan returned an unreadable response

Madlan answered, but not with the shape this endpoint reads, for example an HTML page where structured data was expected. The request was not answered, so it is not billed. Branch on `error.code`: this response is not retryable.

{
    "error": {
        "code": "unexpected_response_shape",
        "message": "Madlan returned an unexpected response.",
        "retryable": false,
        "http_status": 503
    },
    "success": false
}
503

Madlan is temporarily unavailable

The upstream could not be reached, returned a server error, or throttled the request. `rate_limited_upstream` is the throttle path and is retryable once the wait has passed; `upstream_unavailable` covers a connection that could not be established, a server error, and a listing corpus that is still cold — the corpus is built in the background, so a cold one is a 503 that schedules a rebuild rather than a fan-out inside your request. Branch on `error.code`, then try again shortly. Nothing is charged.

{
    "error": {
        "code": "upstream_unavailable",
        "message": "Madlan is temporarily unavailable. Please retry.",
        "retryable": true,
        "http_status": 503
    },
    "success": false
}
422

Invalid parameters

One or more parameters are missing, out of range, or a filter Madlan cannot apply. Filters it cannot apply are refused rather than ignored, so the response never carries the unfiltered corpus in answer to a filter. The response lists the offending fields.

{
    "errors": {
        "limit": [
            "The limit may not be greater than 100."
        ]
    },
    "message": "The request validation failed"
}
404

No record under that id

The id is well-formed and Madlan answered, but nothing is published under it. The body carries `found => false`. The lookup was answered, so it is billed; unlike a 503 this is not an upstream fault and retrying will not change it.

{
    "found": false,
    "notes": [
        "Nothing is published under that id."
    ],
    "record": null,
    "success": true
}
