Hello,

I am facing this weird issue where after fetching details for a few profiles, the script essentially fails. Here's what the error looks like.

Any ideas on why this is happening?

Hi @karanrajpal14 , thanks for reporting. What version are you using?

I've just tried it with the latest version, and I don't see the problem happening there.

Hello @jvandenaardweg, thank you for the response! I am on the latest version currently, i.e. v2.3.1 and this seems to be happening very often.

One thing that I forgot to mention is that this usually happens after going through about 15 profiles. For example, the error above occurred after the 17th profile or so. Is that intended? I am using a recruiter account so I certainly shouldn't have such a low limit on the number of profiles I can go through.

Are there any other logs I can provide that will help you narrow down on the issue perhaps?
