Troubleshooting

"TPDB_API_KEY environment variable is not set"

Solution: Export your API key before running import commands:

export TPDB_API_KEY="your-key-here"

"No performers found on TPDB"

Possible Causes:

1. Typo in search query
2. TPDB doesn't have that performer
3. API rate limiting (wait a minute and retry)

"API returned status 401"

Cause: Invalid or expired API key

Solution:

1. Verify your API key at https://theporndb.net/user/api-tokens
2. Generate a new key if needed
3. Update your environment variable

"API returned status 429"

Cause: Rate limiting

Solution: Wait 60 seconds and retry
