}"Invalid job ID supplied""Job not found""Internal server error"Retrieve per-input error details for a Bright Data Scraper Studio batch job. Use this endpoint to identify which inputs in a batch failed, what the error code was and how to remediate.
Per the OpenAPI spec, the
job_id for this endpoint is the one returned by the /dca/trigger_hp (high-priority) endpoint. Jobs created via the regular /dca/trigger endpoint may use a different error-retrieval path. If the response is empty for a regular trigger job, contact Bright Data support to confirm the right endpoint for your workflow.Request
curl "https://api.brightdata.com/dca/jobs/$JOB_ID/hp_errors" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $BRIGHT_DATA_API_TOKEN"
response = requests.get(
f"https://api.brightdata.com/dca/jobs/{job_id}/hp_errors",
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_TOKEN}"},
)
errors = response.json()
const response = await fetch(
`https://api.brightdata.com/dca/jobs/${jobId}/hp_errors`,
{ headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.BRIGHT_DATA_API_TOKEN}` } }
);
const errors = await response.json();
Query parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
skip_normalize | boolean | No | When true, returns full non-normalized error details. Default returns normalized errors. |
Errors
| Status | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
400 Bad Request | Invalid job ID format | Verify the job ID matches the j_ prefix returned by the trigger endpoint |
404 Not Found | Job does not exist or your account does not have access | Confirm the job ID is current and from a job you triggered |
500 | Internal server error | Retry with exponential backoff, for example 1s, 2s, 4s |
When to use this endpoint
- Build a re-trigger workflow that retries only the failed inputs from a previous batch
- Surface user-actionable error messages in a UI or admin console
- Track failure trends over time (which collectors fail most often, which input shapes cause 422s)
