Network Request Issues

Inventor Support is unable to assist with network request issues.

We cannot be experts in the API of every possible company to assist you with an integration and we cannot control the systems of the service you are making requests to.

As a result, we can only help with network request issues if they are found to affect multiple sites (including sites that intentionally allow/support bot traffic), and in many cases we will look for multiple independent reports from different users before investigating an issue.

If you’re not sure where to start with an integration, you should read an article explaining the basics of HTTP(s), such as this one. Inventor only supports HTTPS requests. Once you have a basic understanding of how network requests work, you should look at the API documentation of whatever service you are integrating.

If you’re having issues making network requests to a specific service, we’d suggest logging as many details as possible (response body, status code, headers, etc.) Using that data, you can usually determine what issue you are running into.

Inventor identifies itself as a bot and uses IP addresses from commercial ranges. Services who wish to stop bot traffic often block commercial IP ranges, meaning Inventor is unable to access many services. We do not provide tools to subvert this type of blocking.
