Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions when working with the Voyager API.

Authentication Issues

Invalid Credentials

Error: 401 Unauthorized Solutions:
  • Verify your email and password
  • Check that API access is enabled for your account
  • Ensure you’re using the correct API base URL

Token Expired

Error: 401 Unauthorized with “Invalid token” Solutions:
  • Re-authenticate to get a new token
  • Implement token refresh logic
  • Check token expiration time

Export Issues

Export Fails

Error: 403 Forbidden or export never completes Solutions:
  • Verify you have PROJECT_DATA_EXPORT capability
  • Check that the project exists and is accessible
  • Ensure the project has completed processing
  • Check export status endpoint for error details

Export Takes Too Long

Issue: Export generation takes hours Solutions:
  • Large projects can take 30+ minutes to export
  • Use data views for quick analysis instead
  • Export specific data types only (meshes, volumes, etc.)
  • Check export status periodically rather than waiting

Data Access Issues

Project Not Found

Error: 404 Not Found Solutions:
  • Verify the project ID is correct
  • Check that you have access to the project
  • Ensure the project hasn’t been deleted
  • Verify workspace permissions

No Data Available

Issue: Project exists but has no data objects Solutions:
  • Ensure scan processing has completed
  • Check project status endpoint
  • Verify data objects exist in project document

Analysis Issues

Analysis Fails to Start

Error: 400 Bad Request or 403 Forbidden Solutions:
  • Verify project is in correct state (ready for analysis)
  • Check that required capabilities are enabled
  • Ensure project has necessary data (e.g., volume for mesh generation)

Analysis Never Completes

Issue: Analysis stays in “processing” state Solutions:
  • Large analyses can take hours
  • Check project status endpoint for details
  • Verify project hasn’t been modified during analysis
  • Contact support if analysis is stuck for >24 hours

Network Issues

Connection Timeout

Error: requests.exceptions.Timeout Solutions:
  • Check your internet connection
  • Verify firewall settings
  • Try from a different network
  • Increase timeout values for large operations

SSL Certificate Errors

Error: SSL verification failed Solutions:
  • Ensure you’re using HTTPS
  • Check system clock is correct
  • Verify certificate chain (rare issue)

Rate Limiting

Too Many Requests

Error: 429 Too Many Requests Solutions:
  • Implement exponential backoff
  • Add delays between requests
  • Reduce request frequency
  • Contact support for higher limits
