HTTP 524 error? ERROR: The service failed to process your request

A working HTTP node that was calling an API happily suddenly started throwing errors.

HTTP 524 error ERROR: The service failed to process your request.

I had to google a 524 error having not seen it before and it appears to be linked to timeouts.

I am charged credits for these failing api calls so it seems they are partially working but I am not getting data back, only the error

I have reached out to support at proxycurl, the service supplying the API. They take 24hrs to reply so in the meantime I thought I would ask here and see if there is any chance this is an n8n related error, maybe a bad config? Which I doubt as it was working.

Hey @Robm,

From what I remember a 524 is normally cloudflare timing out the connection so I suspect the service you are using is sat behind it and the response for whatever API you are calling takes longer than Cloudflare is configured for.

Sadly I don’t think we have any options to get around this.

Thanks @Jon passed your thoughts onto the proxycurl support team. They have said it’s an issue on their side.

Appreciate you taking the time to reply.
