Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| 401 | Bad key | Recopy key; no spaces. |
| 404 | Wrong path | Try adding/removing trailing /v1. |
| Timeout | Network | Proxy / firewall; try the API URL in a browser. |
| Model not supported | Typo in id | Match provider spelling exactly. |
Pro tip: Void calls the provider directly from your machine. On corporate networks, configure Proxy in Void or the system so requests can reach the API.
