Reference

Where it breaks

Quick reference for the most common problems and how to fix each one.

API not responding

Open the endpoint URL directly in your browser (e.g., https://api.deezer.com/search/artist?q=beyonce). If it doesn't return JSON, the problem is the API, not your code. Wait a few minutes and try again.

---

CORS blocking

The browser blocks direct requests to the Deezer API because it doesn't send CORS headers. The solution is to use a CORS proxy that adds the required headers.

Ask the agent:

"The fetch to the Deezer API is being blocked by CORS. Set up a CORS proxy (like corsproxy.io) so requests work."

---

Build fails

Copy the full error from the terminal and paste it for the agent:

Prompt:

"The build failed with this error: [paste the error]. Fix it."

Build errors are usually missing imports, incorrect types, or uninstalled dependencies. The agent resolves most of them directly.

---

Deploy not showing

Check the Actions tab on GitHub. If the workflow:

  • Failed, click the workflow, copy the error, and ask the agent to fix it
  • In progress, wait. The first deploy can take a few minutes
  • Doesn't exist, GitHub Actions isn't configured. Ask the agent to create the workflow

The most common mistake

Accepting code without reading. If you don't understand what a part does, ask the agent before accepting. Review is what separates using AI from being used by it.
