Troubleshooting

  1. Platform API may be rate-limited - wait and retry

  2. Check platform is online: visit the website directly

  3. Some platforms filter certain market types

  1. Lower the min_spread parameter (default is 5%)

  2. Try broader search terms

  3. Fewer opportunities exist in efficient markets

  1. Verify the market ID format (varies by platform)

  2. Ensure the market hasn't been resolved/closed

  3. Check you're using the correct platform name
