Invalid Page Request Handling

Page API errors.

The Verity API checks for malformed HTTP requests, such as:

Incomplete URLs.
Missing HTTP headers.
Invalid domain-specific information.

Example errors or invalid requests are as follows:

Example Error

{
  "dataAvailable": false,
  "Status":  "ERROR", 
  "pageUrl": "http://gg.error/1"
  "uuid": "73146868-8d77-4bf0-8e89-eeb9d8e04cb2"
}

Example Invalid Request

{
  "dataAvailable": false,
  "Status":  "INVALID", 
  "pageUrl": "://gg.invalid/1"
  "uuid": "73146868-8d77-4bf0-8e89-eeb9d8e04cb2"
}

URLs that are unreachable or resulted in errors are maintained in an Error cache. Whenever a request for a URL in the Error cache is received, an error message is returned to the client and the request is not processed.

Clients can retry a failed request after 1 hour, when URLs time out of the Error cache. Alternatively a client can force immediate reprocessing, as described in Ignore Cached Page Response.
