Why is the GitHub Action crawler throwing the error 'Can not upsert crawler'?

  • Updated

The crawler is most likely blocked. You can unblock this by selecting the 'Cancel' button on the 'Overview' page of your Crawler and retry. 

 

If restarting the crawler does not fix the issue, here are some additional solutions:

  • Confirm that you put your Algolia Admin API Key in the ALGOLIA_API_KEY GitHub secret, as well as the matching Algolia App ID in the ALGOLIA_APP_ID.
  • Confirm you have checked if your code is configured with the env property. If you switch to with - this should solve the issue. According to the GitHub action documentation, it expects it’s parameters inside the with property. 
  • Confirm that you aren't missing a `crawler_name` parameter in the GitHub workflow
