Error message
EMPTY_RESPONSE
What it means
EMPTY_RESPONSE is thrown by the upscale command when the API response contains neither data.image nor a non-empty data.images[0] — i.e. the request succeeded (no API_ERROR) but no result URL came back. The library treats a missing result URL as an unusable response rather than silently returning nothing.

Solutions
- Verify the input image URL is valid and publicly reachable (this is what the fix hint points at)
- Log or print the raw response (e.g. use --no-download or inspect network tab in the bridged Chrome) to see the actual body shape
- Retry — transient backend issues can yield empty payloads
- Update the CLI if the yollomi API response schema changed; check for a newer version
Example fix
// before yollomi upscale --image https://example.com/broken-link.png // EMPTY_RESPONSE: No result // after yollomi upscale --image https://example.com/real-photo.jpg
Defensive patterns
Strategy: type-guard
Validate before calling
// Pre-check that an image URL is reachable before using it as input
const head = await fetch(imageUrl, { method: 'HEAD' });
if (!head.ok) throw new Error(`Input image unreachable: HTTP ${head.status}`); Type guard
function hasResultUrl(data) {
return typeof data?.image === 'string' && data.image.length > 0
|| typeof data?.images?.[0] === 'string' && data.images[0].length > 0;
} Try / catch
try {
const out = await upscale(page, { image });
} catch (e) {
if (e.code === 'EMPTY_RESPONSE') console.error('No result URL — verify input image and retry');
else throw e;
} Prevention
- Validate input image URLs are publicly reachable before upscales
- Pin/verify model names after API updates
- Retry once before failing a batch job
When it happens
Trigger: Calling the upscale command and yollomiPost returns a parsed body lacking image/images fields — e.g. the API returned an unexpected shape, a partial success, or an empty object.
Common situations: Upgrading model/server versions that changed the response schema, passing a corrupt or unreachable input image that produced no output, or API-side processing silently producing zero results.
