Error handling

Error pattern	Likely cause	Resolution
Task not ready	Async task still processing	Wait and retry with same task ID
Task expired	Task older than 30 days	Create a new task
Invalid location	Unsupported country/location	Use dataforseo_get_dataforseo_trends_locations_by_country to find valid codes
Rate limit exceeded	Too many requests	Check dataforseo_get_appendix_user_data for rate limits; slow down requests
Insufficient balance	Out of DataForSEO credits	User needs to add funds to their DataForSEO account

Security & Permissions

• ClawLink stores only the API credentials, never raw keys in plaintext
• Device credentials are stored locally in OpenClaw plugin config
• Some tasks (e.g., large crawls) can consume significant credits — always confirm before running large jobs

Troubleshooting

Task results not available:

• Tasks are async — results may take minutes to be ready
• Check task status by calling the appropriate get_* tool with the task ID
• Task results expire after 30 days for most task types

Empty results from keyword tools:

• Verify the keyword and location are valid
• Some very niche keywords may have no data
• Check dataforseo_get_appendix_status to verify the API is operational

Credit consumption higher than expected:

• Use dataforseo_get_appendix_user_data to check current balance
• On-page crawls and bulk backlink queries consume credits
• Use narrow filters and specific targets to minimize credit usage
