Error Description
The CHALLENGE_LOCK_OCCUPIED error indicates that the specific part parameter you are using is currently locked by another active validation process. Scrapingbypass API implements a locking mechanism to prevent redundant resource consumption and session conflicts for the same part.
Common causes include:
- Concurrent Requests: Multiple threads or processes are attempting to use the same
partsimultaneously. - Shared Account Usage: Multiple users are operating on the same account and targeting the same
partID. - Unreleased Locks: A previous request initiated a challenge but was interrupted or timed out before the lock could be formally released.
Solutions
- Implement a Retry Strategy: Wait for the current challenge to complete and the lock to be released, then retry the request.
- Rotate the
partParameter: Change yourpartvalue to an idle ID. The valid range forpartis0to999. - Distribute Workload: If running a multi-threaded scraper, assign a unique
partID to each thread to ensure parallel execution without interference.
Tip: Part Management
To avoid this error in high-concurrency environments, maintain a local pool of
partIDs and ensure each concurrent worker uses a unique ID from the0-999range.
