--limit must be an integer between 1 and 500

Error message

--limit must be an integer between 1 and 500

What it means

parseLimit validates the --limit argument: it must be an integer from 1 to 500 (default 25 when omitted). Non-numeric strings, floats, or out-of-range values throw ArgumentError.

Solutions

1. Use an integer in [1, 500], e.g. --limit 100.
2. Omit --limit entirely to use the default of 25.
3. Clamp or validate the value in your wrapper script before invoking the CLI.

Example fix

// before
--limit 1000
// after
--limit 500

const n = Number(rawLimit);
if (!Number.isInteger(n) || n < 1 || n > 500) throw new Error('--limit must be an integer between 1 and 500');

function isValidLimit(v) {
  const n = Number(v);
  return Number.isInteger(n) && n >= 1 && n <= 500;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Passing --limit 0, --limit 501, --limit abc, --limit 25.5, or any value Number() cannot turn into an integer.

Common situations: Users assuming a larger page size is allowed (Sales Navigator caps at 500); copying a limit from another CLI with different bounds; locale-formatted numbers like '1,000'.
