Error message

Document processing API is not online. Request will not be processed.

What it means

Availability guard in the raw-text embed API: the collector is offline, so the submitted raw text content cannot be processed and the request is rejected with a 500 instead of queuing unprocessable text.

Solutions

  1. Bring the document processing API online and retry the request.
  2. Check collector service logs and connectivity from the server.
Defensive patterns

Strategy: retry

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown at server/endpoints/api/document/index.js:527 when the library encounters an invalid state.

Common situations: Calling a document-processing endpoint while the collector service is not running or unreachable.
