What breaks, and the fix
Of the failures since 14 Aug 2026, the site answered:
400: 61.5% of failures 400 means the site refused the fetch. Treat it like a block: retry once with the JavaScript token and the country the successful calls use, then stop.
422: 21.9% of failures 422 means the site refused the fetch. Treat it like a block: retry once with the JavaScript token and the country the successful calls use, then stop.
504: 14.1% of failures A 504 is a timeout: the page did not finish inside the limit. Retry once, and keep your own client timeout above the median answer time shown for this site.
Run it on a schedule
The median answer on this site is 978ms. Push a URL list to the Crawler with a callback for anything larger than a few thousand pages a day; it paces the calls and retries what the site refuses.
