Why the error with a generic 400/500 error message?

[WaylonOKC]

v5 would return the actual error returned by the website.

For example, if you try to scrap https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/2617/text then you will get a 403-Forbidden error.

v6 now catches all 4xx and 5xx errors and returns a generic "Server has returned a 400/500 error code" which is not helpful/useful.

Why hide the actual error?

Hello,

Fixed in open-graph-scraper@6.2.1

This will now return:

result: {
  success: false,
  requestUrl: 'https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/2617/text',
  error: '403 Forbidden',
  errorDetails: Error: 403 Forbidden

}
