No series found for '${brand}'. Check the brand name spellin

Error message

No series found for '${brand}'. Check the brand name spelling (simplified Chinese), or try a single A-Z catalog letter.

What it means

EmptyResultError raised by the autohome brand command when the catalog page for the resolved initial letter parses successfully but yields zero series rows matching the brand. Usually means the brand name didn't match anything on that letter's page.

Solutions

1. Spell the brand in simplified Chinese exactly as Autohome writes it (e.g. 宝马, 比亚迪, 理想).
2. Try a single A-Z catalog letter (e.g. 'B') to list all series under that letter and find the right name.
3. Double-check characters (traditional vs simplified) and remove punctuation/spaces.

Example fix

// before
opencli autohome brand 'BMW'
// after
opencli autohome brand '宝马'

if (!/^[\u4e00-\u9fa5]+$/.test(brand) && !/^[A-Za-z]$/.test(brand)) {
  console.warn("use simplified Chinese brand name (e.g. 宝马) or a single A-Z letter");
}

try {
  rows = await brand(brandName, limit);
} catch (e) {
  if (/No series found/.test(e.message)) {
    // fall back to browsing the letter catalog
    rows = await brand(brandInitial(brandName) || 'B', limit);
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling the brand command with a misspelled or non-Chinese brand name (e.g. 'BMW' or '宝马x'), or a brand whose initial was mapped to the wrong A-Z catalog letter so the filtered block has no series.

Common situations: Entering brand names in pinyin or English instead of simplified Chinese; typos in Chinese characters; niche brands absent from the catalog page for that letter.
