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.

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)
