Client error
418 418 I'm a Teapot
A joke status from an April Fools specification, returned by a teapot asked to brew coffee. It occasionally appears in the wild as a deliberate response to unwanted bots.
Common causes
- Somebody has a sense of humour, or is trolling a scraper.
How to fix it
- Nothing to fix. If you receive one from an API, read the documentation — it is being used as a custom rejection.
